I like OsmoMSC because it's a name familiar to all GSM network operators, while
every time I write CSCN I feel that I have to explain it because we invented

I'd be ok with calling it MSC before the SMSC is separated, because then we
won't have a rename in our main history besides the move from OsmoNITB to
OsmoMSC. I can rename CSCN to MSC on the branch and then CSCN is poof, gone.
We already have OsmoCSCN named in some blog posts / wiki and a project with
this name on osmocom.org, I guess the sooner we converge to a long term name
(OsmoMSC) the better, to minimize the spread and confusion.
