Yes, I agree. Tempest is also used by Refstack, Rally, and I'm sure many 
other parts of our ecosystem. I would vote for tempest-lib as the 
library and keeping tempest to mean the same thing in the ecosystem as 
it does at present. I would also not be opposed to a different name than 
tempest-lib if it were related to its function.
