(responding to all the NACKs, since the reasoning is the same).
I was making my way through the OVAL (in preparation to create
remediation scripts), and several OVAL checks don't match the XCCDF
rule name. In the past our stated goal was to have XCCDF == OVAL ==
remediation in regards of naming. Do you feel that no longer makes sense?
Jeff and I were chatting over IM, wanted to copy/paste the conversation
to the list for transparency:

i want to be able to spot things in a directory listing

and yes, i'm only interested in bothering with renaming if we're
actually going to think about it and have it make sense

in a complete way

it's just not worth the time otherwise

fair. i'd like to atleast have XCCDF rules match OVAL titles for
templated items, though. Example: sysctl

Blank, Jeff
sure, that totally makes sense
So in effect, scrap the random renamings until (if?) a naming standard
is developed, but keep those for macro'd content (generated out of
RHEL6/input/checks/templates/) as those have a good enough
quasi-standard for the project.
