That's not our understanding. See the parts of the bylaws quoted here:

  https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/governance/tree/resolutions/20131106-ceilometer-and-heat-official-names

I think it's pretty clear that unless a 'module' (e.g. Heat) is added to
the 'Core OpenStack Project' by the board on the recommendation of the
TC, it can't call itself e.g. OpenStack Orchestration.
