thanks for your suggestion. I agree that this can lead
to confusion.

We looked into this, and it seems that "target.service"
is the name used by the upstream LIO project.
Unfortunately.

And while deviating from an upstream project in an area
where it impacts administrators (system configuration)
is possible and sometimes even mandatory for a Linux
distribution, in this case we think that working with
the upstream project to help them find a better name,
and change SUSE Linux Enterprise accordingly afterwards
is the right approach.

Hope this explains.

so long -
