NPM is no more, welcome the new flashy and witty name :
Yes it's a deliberate pun, which seems to have been overlooked for decades, and the domain names seem uncluttered (yet). So I got .com as well. You never know.
NPM was never intended to remain a definitive name for this projects/development/specification. Due to my ADHD, the name collision was a deliberate personal incentive to find a way better one, just like all those "project code names" names either Aurora, Nebula or Eclipse you see in the industry. I wanted to start the design without being hindered by the lack of a definitive umbrella name, and the ideas matter more than the label, just a few letters, put on them. But this lack was becoming a pain recently. Inspiration never warns anyway, and when it arrives, it strikes with its obviousness.
It's seven characters long and I'd have loved a much shorter one but they are all taken already.
What's after POSEVEN ? POEIGHT. So a system written using these principles would naturally be a POEM. Sweet, but now it's become totally corny.
Anyway, I'm still considering this development in the background, while I work on other things like the #YGREC8. Stay tuned.

Update: #YGREC32 will be the first dedicated platform !
