The initial gfx is rather worse, but yes. Just as the devmanual states |
| 9 |
about the changelog, package categories should be "proper" English |
| 10 |
(words). So *wtf* and *gfx* are equally inappropriate. IMO, of course. |

(It's worth noting that the above opinion doesn't extend to individual |
| 13 |
package names, however. If the authors of a program are fine with |
| 14 |
calling it the gimp (the gfx tool), or clit (convert-lit, an ebook |
| 15 |
converter), or whatever, fine with me.) |
