I suppose. But I think, minetest as a project was strengthend by its proximity to minecraft. The big reason you pick up luanti is that its like minecraft, but free and with more modding freedom. I dont think this is bad thing to be reflected in a name. But good luck to them, maybe they can pull the name change off without hurting their public recognition too much.
Im always sceptical of name changes, because you trade a somewhat widespread known project name in for …nothing.
In this case you trade it in for not being confused for Minecraft anymore though

I always thought minetest is a cheap minecraft clone, mainly for testing or smth.
So yeah, its a good name change
