Having categories and having identical ones in different categories, |
| 11 |
does sort of invalidate the extreme "bug" tag you put on it. Anyhow, |
| 12 |
last time I checked, there was no policy like this ? As far as I am |
| 13 |
concerned, as long as we have categories, renaming a package because |
| 14 |
of an already existing one in a different category is just silly, and |
| 15 |
will cause more confusion. |
