I don't know.  It just sounds corny to me.  If you use "grandparent",
"parent", "child" (no discrimination against grandpa's and fathers ;-)), it's
fine with me.

BTW, did I get this right?:

  Grandparent:

    Part of the DL code base.  Spawns or communicates with
    multiple Parents

  Parent:

    The BL code base written by Jarl.  Spawns or communicates with
    multiple Children.

  Child:

    Part of the PL code base.
