Bro, I suppose you're giggling everytime you hear the word "Stratosphere" (aka Scrotosphere) or "Stratus" (aka Scrotus), right? :-)

"Stratum" is normal word and it's root is widely used in related words (like stratosphere), so I don't see anything wrong with this. However some people suggested that they have negative connotation to such word, so I'm not so sure now.

Edit: "stratum" is even first suggestion for synonym at http://thesaurus.com/browse/layer . I don't see anything wrong here...

Anyone telling you they envision something negative from the word Stratum is either trolling you or dropped out in 5th grade...

cheers and gratz to Marcus
If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system.
