Good.

I agree with Josef it would be best if we could drop the
2-letter-acronym requirement. My preference would be to use the tool
name instead (and not some form of abbreviation). That increases
usability as it eliminates all confusion. I fail to see the value of
having to use an abbreviated tool name in certain contexts. It's just
one more thing to remember. And it's not clear to me what the value is
in return.
