''Changing this name is very ill advised.  A bad, strongly protested, move to [[Consumerium:Consumerium itself]], was being made repeatedly in 2005.  This was an example of [[sysop vandalism]].  It simply moved things from well defined readable names where they can be found, to bad names where they cannot be found.  Names no one could guess.''

Consumerium itself, as a service, is in flux.  It was unavailable for editing for many months, and has no mechanisms nor [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] in place to ensure that contributions will not be wasted or pages frozen and thus fall out of date.
 
Also, the [[ecolabel]] movement has matured to the point where Consumerium needs to converge strongly with it, and there seems to be no will to do so, nor even document in the [[FAQ]] how ecolabels and Consumerium must converge to provide actual services.
 
In Japan, [[keitai]] uses are emerging to challenge the role of services such as those defined by Consumerium.  For instance, to [[compare price via barcode]]s is now common using cell phone cameras.  Obviously, '''Consumerium itself''', to be relevant, would need to offer services such as the [[price premium]] calculation at that critical moment.
