I heard that already from Esden. And I think that is a needed step for
the future of ROCK.

Full ACK.

Ok. I have two other suggestions. The first is "ROCK Build Kit" and the
second is "Open ROCK - The Distribution Build Kit". The first came from
a suggestion "ROCK Toolkit" I heard, but this one does not fit I think.
My favourite is the second name, because we are not a distribution build
kit, but we are "The Distribution Build Kit" :-).
