I for one consider this "kit" naming pretty awkward, and if it's just 
the slow adoption of microsoftsounding techniques into Linux. Heck it 
(kit) may be the next buzzword of the century. And then, once `rpm -qa` 
has a "Kit" in every line, maybe then people start thinking what it 
buys.

Where's the unix in everyone of us? ConsoleKit for example, rpm -q 
summarizes it as "System daemon for tracking users, sessions and seats" 
and should, subsequently, had better been called consolesessiond or 
something, for "ConsoleKit" does not tell me much. RealtimeKit even 
gives me the wrong impression that it alone would magically make RT work 
(which is not the case).
