Hi, Christopher!
 
I like these the most of what's been suggested so far!

Yes, but also the concept of a "net" prefix on a package name is not
new and does not necessarily mean a reference to NetBSD.  For example,
netqmail [1] was created a while ago, and I'm not certain, but I never
thought the authors intended it as a reference to NetBSD.  I don't
know what they intended, but my assumption has always been that it was
a reference to Net (short for Internet) because they were a group of
contributors on the Internet with a common interest and goal.
