I find myself not liking the name rpm-ostree anymore; it's
descriptive, but unfortunately we compete with other projects with
easier and sexier names.

Also, people continually find the ostree and rpm-ostree layering
unclear. It's much easier to say "nxs depends on ostree", even
though textually it's obvious "rpm-ostree depends on ostree".

Anyways, just an experiment for now.

Good idea to rename "rpm-ostree" but doesn't nxs look/sound too similar to NixOS?

BTW I was thinking of nxs as short for NexusPkg or something like that. Nexus -> "relationship or connection between people or things". And here the things are packages and "images" (ostree commits).

As far as it being too close to NixOS...dunno. A bit? But it feels like it's not too close that anyone would be confused. Anyways, just something to think about in the background.

(To be clear this patch is only changing the Vagrant box as a suitable playground)
