If package names weren't so user-hostile for most users (all lower case,
no spaces, often heavily abbreviated, often awful names), it would be
reasonable to show them by default. But since they aren't, they
shouldn't be shown by default. So whatever presentation package names
have, it should be off by default, but easy to turn on for the people
who want to see them.
I think an appropriate design here for 2.0 would be to have a "Package
Name" column for package listings, that can be toggled from the "View"
menu. This column would be off by default in listings that showed mostly
applications. It *might* be on by default in listings that showed mostly
non-application packages. I'm not sure what this extra column would do
to the position of the [->] navigation button.
Any alternative suggestions?
