I will note that this would cause problems for Apache Commons Lang. The original release of commons uses the package org.apache.commons.lang and has a jar file of commons-lang-2.6.jar [1] The later release of commons uses the package org.apache.commons.lang3 and has a jar file of commons-lang3-3.4.jar [2] Dropping the number immediately after the name will break this, and it is not unusual for applications to have both lang and lang3 in the classpath.
