I'm sorry but for me prlctl is more confusing than vzctl, simply because
it's very easy to write prctl instead for example.

Well if you want to look something perfect you need some sort of a standard
to follow.. So If there is some sort of mess in branding there might be
another mess and more bugs.. Don't you think it's better to have 1 product
rather than 100500 products giving basically the same functionality? And
also unified branding is much better for marketing purposes.

I personally don't care much how tools are named as long as they are
working properly and you know which tool you need to use.
