In English, phrases don't end with a full stop. As has been argued |
| 9 |
elsewhere in this thread, using full stops (periods, dots) is |
| 10 |
unnecessary, redundant, and ugly. |

It is my professional opinion, as an English teacher, that we should |
| 13 |
*never* use full stops in DESCRIPTION fields. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If we are to use a repoman warning, we should encourage people to NOT |
| 16 |
use a full stop at the end of their description phrases. Also, the |
| 17 |
package name should not be repeated as part of the description. |
