That is true; all that I'm saying is that that `name' part does not
sound nice to [my] ear.  I tend to believe that ``kern.sched.{type,flavor,
whatever} serves us better since `name' does not really state anything
than just a plain "name", while generally one would want something more
fundamental for this type of identification IMHO.
