I've always said "vee zee control" but that's just me. Sure, we can all live with a mishmash of names, but when Sergey said he agreed the naming should be cleaned up, I realized how much I liked the idea. The prlctl business struck me as a clumsy attempt to pay homage to the parallels brand. Moving to a unified "vz*" naming convention would be change for the better IMHO.
