It would be trivial to change the name, although I don't see what
it buys you.  NetBSD changed the name because they wanted to be
able to set swap device priority and do other things through the
same interface.  From previous conversations, I gather that swap
device priority is not a particularly desired feature for FreeBSD,
and it would probably require rewriting the entire swap subsystem
again in any case.  Unless you intend to extend the interface
further, having swapctl seems to me like changing mount/umount to
mountctl.  That's not to say I'm opposed to the idea, just that I
don't care one way or the other.
