[Starlingx-discuss] Re-branding wrsroot proposal

Of those, I'd prefer "sysadm". It's very accurate and stays generic enough in its purpose. It's an account for system administration, with no implications about the purpose of the system or when it's used.

So for me: sysadmin or sysadm (and I save 25% typing with sysadm!!)
