No, not "would", but "did". The scope was explicitly limited
to proposed names in a submitted proposal, not the universe of
potential future possibilities.
In the "/usr/gnu" case, which was concerned with
the creation of a new "/usr/gnu" hierarchy to be delivered
with Solaris, and populated with GNU/FSF-derived objects
that conflict with Solaris objects,
we agreed to not put GNU binutil binaries into /usr/bin under
names that conflicted with those already found there.
