Well, whatever they are, 'pt' is obscure, and a 'driver' can drive all
sorts of things.  'gcc' is a driver for cc1, 'make' is a driver for
$(CC), and the kernel has all sorts of drivers too.  The name is
nondescriptive and the term is used in too many contexts already.
I like the "test-parallel" (or a similar) color better, and while I
acknowledge that it's the painting of a bike shed, and my preference
is not all that strong, it is one where users have stumbled over and
complained.

Sure.
