Except if "unofficial" also follow a schema.
I think B2CK will publish his packages under the prefix "b2ck_" because
it is the name of the project from where it comes.

When I say "Tryton" I mean the project/community.

- It brings confusion
- It will create name collision:
We can expect in the long term that there will be more
"unofficial" packages than "official". So each time a new
"official" package will be created, its name will part of a long
process to find a free name (which could be not the more accurate
one).
Finally, I would like to remember that if people wants to have a module
be part of the "official" modules. He should join the community and
follow the standard process:
- blueprint
- talks/mailing list
- codereview…
Otherwise, it could be feel as a hijacking of the project/community.
