Because you make it harder for all other users to spot useful goodies
when they type scons<tab> in their command line. Why should I have to
read that name all the time? If there are many goodies of this kind are
expected, maybe some kind of `sconservice` should be invented - it is
impossible to run the tool with just sco<tab> anyway because of
sconsign and scons-time.

Also this tool could be shipped as a plugin, which
updates cache structure automatically and fails when somebody tries to
use older SCons version.
