Naming: how to call the RPC 2.0 product to replace current Solana RPC

[grooviegermanikus]

Goal

Find a term that helps to clarify the concept during the project phase.
The described product will be the RPC implementation that will operate next to the Solana Validator instance.

how about Vanilla RPC 2.0
See here for definition of the terminology

This might not be the best place to ask this, but if the RPC is going to be a decoupled sidecar implementation based entirely on geyser, couldn't a validator operator choose which RPC sidecar to run?

If so, we could just have an interface for the RPC sidecar, dub that interface something like "Solana RPC Sidecar Interface" (or much, much better than that), and just let anyone implement it. Perhaps some nodes may choose different implementations based on the hardware they run, performance benefits for down-stream users, MEV, etc.
