Me, I'd go on name alone:

PHPNuke
Geeklog
Drupal
Joomla
Wordpress

And in reality I went:

PHPNuke
Geeklog
Drupal
Geeklog

Changing the name /might/ be good, but you have to consider what
you're re-branding for. Are you re-branding to sell a platform to
build sites (glue as Euan suggested?) or to sell to the
Wordpress/Drupal style market where they just want a ready to go
platform. i.e. developers or (I struggle to find the right word here,
non-technical site owners?)
