Gotta agree on the name. Please choose meaningful names especially for low level components like drivers, libraries and CLI tools. It's fine for end-user facing applications to have unique names like Blender, Krita, Inkscape, Chrome, etc. But nobody wants to have to look up what the name of random system packages is.
