Then maybe the acronym should just be expanded.



That would be unfitting. OTP started as "Open Telecom Platform", but today the long form is not in use anymore. To quote Wikipedia (with emphasis from me):

"The name OTP WAS originally an acronym for Open Telecom Platform, which WAS a branding attempt before Ericsson released Erlang/OTP as open source."

Today, OTP is the name.

To avoid confusions, it would have been best to add "(Erlang)" before the title.
