Comment (by dd32):

 I think this paragraph from the above message is super relevant:
 > and even if we did change it, there's nothing to stop them from blocking
 the new name in the future. it's not likely that they'd target wordcamps
 specifically, but whatever we choose would have to be semantically
 appropriate, so it'd probably have "sponsor" in there somewhere.

 I would expect to see sponsor logos blocked again in the future, WordCamps
 are not special in the scheme of the web, it'll just be a game of
 whack-a-mole where if CSS classes are changed it'll get blocked again at
 some point in the future (maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, etc) and the
 conversation will repeat.

 I've seen ad blockers block ticket pages for conferences before (not
 WordCamps) because one of the field options contained '-ad-' as part of
 the field ID.
