I am sure Michael is open to alternative names.  I know I am.  The problem is
that we can't figure out what "IBoE" is.  It is not a transport, even though
query_transport is now returning it as one.  :-P

I think the idea behind the "tech" name was that it is a technology "family".
I can't think of a better name.
