I think (and hope) that the compiz-fusion "rename" only applies to (some/all) 
of the work that will be released as compiz-fusion (i.e. the compiz 
enhancements/etc.), as there's no reason for it to apply to anything else.

I think the idea is that compcomm referred to what will now be compiz-fusion, 
while opencompositing (the site where compcomm was[is] hosted) is the 
umbrella group to handle general Free Software compositing, and so the rename 
is just for the compiz extensions, not opencompositing.org which is still to 
exist and to fulfill that mission.

I don't know if this is being discussed in IRC, I've not been there myself, 
but this did kind of come as a surprise
