To clarify, I do not suggest to remove the linkage between Org mode and
GNU Emacs. Just change the emphasis. I had no intention to remove the
reference to Emacs from search result. It should be still there in the
short description of orgmode.org. See the second part of my suggestion
#1.

I view "Org Mode" as a "brand name". Something uniquely identifying Org
mode and serving as a search term.

Is it your principal position about the title specifically? Do you think
that just referring to Emacs in the website description is not
sufficient?

Note that my suggestion #1 has nothing to do with actual orgmode.org
front page. Just about how it appears in search results.
