I'm happy to hear that this was already mentioned.

When I made thoughts about it, I came to the conclusion that ROCK Linux may survice, but it should be decapsulated from a "Distribution Build Kit" (so in our terminology it should be a distribution target). Well, I'd speak for just name it Distribution Build Kit. Or, when this makes trouble with things like rock-consulting et al, put a ROCK before it.
