13 I'd prefer "package versions" but the people will come up with
14 "sys-apps/eix-1.2.3" or just "1.2.3", not the desired
15 "=sys-apps/eix-1.2.3".
16
17 "atom" is a well defined term in the gentoo world, so why not use it?
18
19 If we really expect something in the field what used to be an "atom" we
20 should use the new term for it like "package dependency spec".
21
22 But for me "atom" really works best here...
