Hey Ferronrsmith. My name is Prescott Nasser, I'm the Chair of the Apache 
Lucene.Net project at Apache. We've had several people get confused by your 
package and the naming. Specifically using the Apache brand, and the fact that 
there is no version 4.9 of the library available. 
Do you mind renaming your package to avoid confusion with the official Apache 
Lucene.Net packages?
Thanks very much Prescott Nasser VP - Lucene.Net

Ouch.

For reference: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Lucene.Net.Core/

The PMC needs to reach out to whoever did so and tell them it is not acceptable 
and they need to label their packages properly. Most likely this has happenen 
with the best intententions and can be rectified. Does anybody know 
"ferronrsmith"?
