Security community, 

When SST was being open sourced, the name "Sun Security Toolkit" was chosen by 
IP lawyers who felt it was safer than the previous name, "Solaris Security 
Toolkit." This was fine at the time, but obviously times have changed. 

I would like to make a slight name change to the "SST Security Toolkit." 

This is a recursive acronym like GNU or RPM. With the new name we'd be able to 
keep the recognizable SST acronym, without being Sun-centric. Red Hat did the 
same thing with RPM to decouple the package manager from their brand. This is 
particularly important since cross-platform support is a core goal of the SST 
project. 

Any objections? 

Thanks, 
~Jason
