	With the Kodi v14 "Helix" release being imminent, we're asking for all the help we can get to update our documentation to refer to the new Kodi name.

There might still be places where it is good to write both names, so using "Kodi/XBMC" or "Kodi, formerly known as XBMC, …" would be okay in the intro section of that page.

	* Sometimes the name "XBMC" can be removed completely and something will still make sense.

	* Places where exact file paths or links or other exact instructions are used, it's good to just show a note about the future rename. For example, the [[userdata]] page says that the XBMC directory will be renamed as Kodi in the future. That same note is transcluded on many other pages that reference the userdata folder path. Once Kodi is released we will still have a note there, but it will be past-tense and say something like "the Kodi directory was named "XBMC" in past versions".		* Places where exact file paths or links or other exact instructions are used, it's good to just show a note about the future rename.
