Agreed, we shouldn't force you to understand the consequences of you picking a name. That, I think, is one of the main drivers for developer-keyed names. There's no collisions. The main subject here is how to implement the promotion from developer-keyed to top-level, which is a manual recognition that you are the best person to care for that particular piece of software with that name. -- Martin -- snappy-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snappy-devel
