I have not seen much discussion lately regarding the choice of the string, "scm" in this GLEP. I asked the author today on IRC, and he said he doesn't have a particularly strong reason for "scm" beyond historical reasons. Since we are stuck with the string once it is adopted, I think we should consider the choice carefully. Personally, I'd prefer "live", since it is what we've been calling these ebuilds for a long time, it's easier to remember (and more "catchy"), and it seems to carry the spirit of what we mean by these kinds of ebuilds. Also, there is a new in-ebuild property with the signifier "live". Comments? -Joe
