The Policy Draft you reference is somewhat outdated and in need of a

I've thought this because it is quite old from the tome stamp but
I failwd to found something more recent.
As for the names: On a few of my more recent ITPs for R / CRAN
packages, folks suggested to not use the 'short' names. Hence I would
suggest
r-cran-msm
r-cran-sp
r-cran-spc
r-cran-vcd
for binary _and source_ packages and you may as well stick with
r-cran-colorspace
Fine, I will regard this for these packages. WHat would you
suggest for the recently uploaded package plotrix which is currently
in new? should I immediately ask ftpmaster to drop this upload
and rename the source package as well?
as colorspace is so generic.
I completely agree. I just added the explicite hint to my
ITPs (if I did not forgot it) to ask for comments on the
naming scheme because I was not really convinced that it is
the best idea these days (at the time of writing it was probably
reasonable).
Kind regards
Andreas.
