What's the rationale for the name change? Changing the name of a git repo screws a lot of things up :/

I am very worried about things getting screwed up as well. I think Dan will be able to give you a reason.

We don't want this to be confused with the similarly named Navigation Popups feature which is aimed at a totally different set of users.

As I mentioned in email, I am fine with the name of the extension proper remaining as Popups, as long as the user-facing sections refer to it as Hovercards.

So we didn't end up renaming the repository, but all user visible messages have been renamed. I suppose that is good enough and we can close this?

Didn't rename everything due to the reasons stated in the following conversation

The renaming that *required* has been done.
