You are correct, bikeshed it is, as long as we talk about the package name.

But, that is not the kind of correlation I was refering to. All I
meant was being "straightforward". If you want gnome, you type "pacman
-S gnome", not "pacman -S gtk-desktop-environment". So, if you want
the kernel for your system, since there can be different kernels but
not different gnomes or different linux's, you type..whatever :P
