What's in a name? is my point.

The recommendation is not to scrap the Order, but to rename it Order of British Excellence (It is already formally the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire)

So it will still be there, but with an up-to-date name. Do not all countries (maybe China and Libya excepted) have honours?

If we are only talking about names, then the relevance to the VC is clear. Je reste ma valise!
