Non-binding votes

I'm +1 for libomptarget to be named liboffload and made a generic new
project. I could potentially help contribute to this. Even if it
starts only with a dependency on tasking, the future direction is
clear.

I'm -1 for libomptarget to be named something confusing or which isn't generic

I'm -1 for inclusion with "parallel-libs". I'm not sure what the
current leadership in that project intends to do. Moving here later is
much easier than trying to extract it out and pick-up broken pieces.

+0 libomptarget to be bundled inside OMP and stay OMP specific. Yay
for code duplication...
