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.
