Thanks.  I felt this implicitly, and now I get it straight from you.

Well, I don't mind either.  I'm accountable for part of the confusion
especially for the version number ;)

"nilfs-tools" sounds simpler. Umm, actually it would be better in the
long term because the nilfs package already has versions related to
the filesystem version (e.g. -2.x.y).  At least I don't have any
reason to object to the rename.

I just realized that ocfs2-tools package has versions 1.x.y.


Thanks,
