I personally find it annoying when people fork projects, decide not to |
| 9 |
maintain ABI compatibility with the original project, and then keep |
| 10 |
filenames the same/etc such that the packages collide in their |
| 11 |
recommended configurations. |

I get that in the beginning everybody is just getting started and you |
| 14 |
just don't have time to do anything other than revert some annoying |
| 15 |
commits and maybe strip all the copyright notices (ducks!). However, |
| 16 |
projects should quickly decide whether they intend to remain |
| 17 |
compatible or not (I get that there are valid reasons for either |
| 18 |
depending on the circumstances), and if the latter change their |
| 19 |
filenames/etc. |
