Halftone is a image technique that makes use of dots varying in size and spacing to create a gradient-like effect on pictures. It's an analogous technique to dithering, but used in printing instead on computer screens. In my opinion it's a better name than Pixely, as it has direct correlation to (image) dithering.
Renaming will start today, there aren't thankfully any packages of Pixely distributed yet, so everything should be done very soon.
