Can you explain in a sentence/paragraph what it does? I have to admit as a newbie to so far not seeing how it fits in to the picture fully. Perhaps a good name will become apparent once its purpose it briefly explained.

Rationale follows: rumprun-posix no longer builds the "unikernel mode" by default. It's still available with the correct switch to the build script, but I assume it's not interesting except for developers, and that it will go away completely once we have a userspace platform supported in the unified rumprun repository. Hence, to not confuse people new to rump kernels with "rumprun *on posix*" vs. "rumprun *for posix applications*", we should get rid of the rumprun-posix name at top-level repo.rumpkernel.org. We've been tossing the name rumprun-remote around a bit. However, the control utilities provided by the repo are not only for rumprun unikernels. For example, one can use the network tools to control a rump kernel/dpdk router. Therefore, the new name should not contain "rumprun". Hence, my proposal of "rumpctrl". Thoughts?
