At this point, I think Rdi is more recognizable than WDSc and even if we
renamed it tomorrow (again, I know nothing to suggest this), we still will
be calling it RDi for years to come.

This is an important point. WDSCi (or spelling/capitalization variants
thereof) just doesn't have much mindshare as far as I can tell.
Certainly much less than RDi.

This is a different situation than the term "AS/400" (or "AS400")
which, despite its age, is still just as recognizable as any other
name that has been or is being used for the IBM midrange platform.
