I agree. I'd like for the package to be called simply 'kernel'. That
fits in with our straightforward approach to package-naming (and
packaging in general). As long as we can linguistically correlate the
commands, for .eg:
"I want a kernel for this system" == pacman -S kernel
A derivative distribution or third-party repository which does not use
the Linux kernel can then still provide a 'kernel' package.
hurr durr
Package names (ours at least) usually go by the project's name, as far
as I can see.
+1 for "linux"
