The latter.

I'd think it'd make more sense, yes.

Even if it's not necessarily like that for all cases.

_My_ point of view is simply to make `ox-pandoc' more visible as an
alternative option when one wants to export to Markdown: simply by
looking at file names, by Googling or by looking at "require" calls used
in other's configs, one would expect that `ox-md' and `ox-md-pandoc'
would both generate "markdown".

For Beamer, it could be similar, except that people don't necessarily
search for "latex" when trying to export to "beamer".

Best regards,
  Seb
