This one I=E2=80=99m not sure.  Since we occasionally have to type it on the
command line (like =E2=80=98herd load shepherd foo.scm=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98h=
erd stop shepherd=E2=80=99,
etc.), I initially thought that we might as well rename it to =E2=80=98root=
=E2=80=99 or
similar so that it=E2=80=99s not too much of a burden.

But on second thought, it seems that we rarely have to type it anyway
(esp. since =E2=80=98herd status=E2=80=99 is now synonymous for =E2=80=98he=
rd status dmd=E2=80=99) so
maybe =E2=80=98shepherd=E2=80=99 is OK after all.

WDYT?
