I disagree. When searching for a software to do a given job and when I have |
17 |
no idea of which software can do it, I begin to look for the ebuild descriptions |
18 |
in the portage tree. It goes faster as anything else with mc. And I will never |
19 |
search a genealogy program in theology, so I will just miss it if it is in |
20 |
theology. |

That said, I agree at it is not a big deal in term of herd placement from a |
23 |
developer point of vue, but it is one, as I already said, in term of |
24 |
consistency and meanings. English is not my first language, and if the |
25 |
portage tree don't have a good consistency regarding to the meaning of the used |
26 |
terms, I vote to replace those terms by numbers. So it will be no consistency |
27 |
problem because it will be no consistency at all. |

I am joking, the name of the herds are fine. And I prefer to have such a |
30 |
naming policy as something as a/aa/* as on sourceforge. |
