Any word on the strange naming of the quest?

Is it suppose to be slightly cryptic or it is just a case of forgetfulness?

If it is the latter case, can a game patch change the name to something else?

Of course it could take sometime to come up with a suitable name.

It's likely just time and development. I'd imagine the Kings Gambit with Crocker and then the NCR's Boomer quest were both 'For the Republic' or something and they just changed the quest name late in development.

As Martyr said, it's probably an oversight.

Doubt it.

Yes, even a quick modification can do it.

Why not just "For the Republic"?
