I think my biggest worry with renaming is that there wouldn't be quite enough gear or interest to do a stand-alone Ultralight section, and then the Backpacking section would not care about getting the UL gear that the Ultralight section currently gets (ZPacks, some UL Bivy's, Lukes UL, BlackRock Gear, Enlightened Equipment, most of the tarps, maybe half the tents).
An alternate suggestion: most of the knives and all the metal water bottles would be better in the Everyday Carry community. To me, they are the most common egregious offenders, and don't really belong in anyone's backpacking list at all (I mean, a knife belongs, but definitely not the sort that have been on offer). Then the rest of the heavier camping gear is more take it or leave it.
I definitely agree with this sentiment and don't want to see the community watered down, but my vote is to fix the things on offer rather than rename it and lose the good that is here.
