It's a common noun which works really well for patch-based offerings I guess, and we chose it because we built a 'framework to patch code'. But we'll think more about this - thanks for bringing it up.
When I saw your submission title I thought it was that Patchwork.
> Incremental ZFS send streams do not have any of these properties and full ZFS send streams only have a few of them. Neither full nor incremental streams have any resilience against damage to the stream; a stream is either entirely intact or it's useless. Neither has selective restores or readily available indexes. Incremental streams are completely useless without everything they're based on. All of these issues will sooner or later cause you pain if you use ZFS streams as a backup format.
