- Razor's Kiss > Razor: the reference is cool, but Razor is elegant, is a sharp tool like {Hack, Chain}saw and the name won't really change that much.

- Dart fits the Hover naming scheme and Scrubber fits Veh. While many other units (like Rapier, or Peewee and his melee bro) also use weapon names, in case of Dart/Scrubber a swap would kill 2 inconsistencies with 1 stone; the problem is, those two are very important units and swapping (as opposed to merely renaming) would cause huge confusion.
