If we do, shouldn't there be another vote asking if it's okay

change, in light of the possible release delay?
Definitely not. There is equivalent that doesn't require apostrophe or umlaut
(diaeresis) characters. Legal will have a far less difficult time with this than flat out
incorrect spellings, or new names.
It's not the name that was originally voted for.
Schrodinger is not the man's name, and is the wrong solution. Schroedinger is as
acceptable as Schrödinger.
If the release name only needs to apply to the Final release, the
name could be
temporarily changed to "Schrodingers Cat" for Alpha if it takes longer to hold
the vote.
I disagree any duration of the incorrect spelling of a surname is acceptable. For a
private/closed project it might be tolerated for internal distribution only, but I'm
skeptical. For a public project I don't think it's appropriate.
