Agreed. > We talked about this explicitly during development, but I don't remember > why we did it this way to start with. ? I thought it was deliberate too, but didn't know why. Thinking it through, I can't come up with any good reasons. The only thing I could come up with was software checking if a package was installed and using the old name, but current package bits remove the old names as soon as they get the chance, so it seems like anyone doing explicit checks for the old names would be losing anyway. -- Rich
