Please *do* *not* refer to it as just 「Mir」 but as 「The display server with the codename “Mir”」 to avoid a name-clashing conflict with the much older MirOS Project.
The Canonical people have assured me that “Mir” is just its codename and will not be user-visible on the final product (there’s a Launchpad bug for this), so please do the same in journalism.
