Maintaining this confusion doesn't help the users. Imagine a new CAS
user who decides to download several projects like pari, maxima,
Axiom, Fricas, and OpenAxiom. He decides to install them all and play
with them. The end result will be 3 directories of code, only one of
which can be used because Fricas and OpenAxiom step on Axiom and each
other. It is clearly "the wrong thing". And there is a trivial fix.
Or imagine an *experienced* CAS user, such as myself. I have Pari and
Maxima, though I've never really touched Pari. I have Yacas because
there's an R library that talks to it. And I have Axiom because I
discovered an old version of it a number of years ago on a Knoppix
remaster by Dirk Eddelbuettel called "Quantian". There is no confusion
on my machines simply because I don't need either FriCAS or OpenAxiom --
and I haven't installed them -- and I don't intend to.
