Why are we calling our tools "PV Drivers"? They're more than that. Xenservers' "VM Tools for Windows" seems more appropriate to designate PV drivers + agent(s).

It originally followed the repo name "win-pv-drivers", I never settled on a single way to call it. Let's call it "XCP-ng Windows PV Tools" then?

The title of the whole section is "Windows Guest Tools", which could also fit: "XCP-ng Windows Guest Tools" or "Windows Guest Tools for XCP-ng"... "PV" is fine for people who understand the concept of paravirtualization, but for a larger user base, I think they would be "VM Tools" or "Guest Tools".
Leaving you with more questions than answers :)

I'll call it "XCP-ng Windows Guest Tools".

The XCP-ng drivers are now the recommended drivers for Windows guests. Both sets of guest tools remain supported.
