Well, perhaps, but:
- This is the naming convention suggested by the alioth guidelines
on the wiki[1], however authorative those are. Mind you, this is
a bit self referential, since these are the guidelines for
"packaging projects"
- It is a bit cliched, but perfect is the enemy of good. I would
rather see a successful, perhaps in some sense narrow project
that could expand, rather than something very ambitious just
peter out from lack of focus.
Those are of course, just my own views. I don't claim any kind of
authority.
All the best
David
