So the packages that currently exist are Adiscon packages, not real project packages (in the sense that the project takes care of them). If there is need to make that distinction clear, we can do so.

Adiscon doesn't want to sponsor package development, but is happy with anyone (not only support customers) using what is created for the support customers.
