Has Pneumocystis carinii been renamed?

This is a "viewpoint" in Clinical Infectious Diseases, about the proposal to rename this organism. There is an abstract at http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/CID/journal/issues/v41n12/36436/brief/36436.abstract.html, with a link to a related editorial. University members on campus should be able to follow the link to full text. The article wonders if the proposed new nomenclature is an improvement over the old.
