That's what I thought as well. It's a bit of a dilemma when you start a 
sentence with its name. Do I go with GNewSense or gNewSense then. If I go with 
former then it breaks the official name and if I go with latter it breaks 
grammar.

I tend to agree. It's all about marketing. With good marketing, the ugliest 
name in the world can become attractive, not that gNewSense is the ugliest name 
in the world. ;)
