There is often times a disconnect between package names and the
features they deliver.  This is not limited to [Open]Solaris - I've
felt that Debian and RHEL suffer from the same problem.  I've written

The most important part of this idea is that it offers a way to refer
to specific sets of packages, whether it be in installation profiles,
mailing lists, release notes, etc.
