Another major problem is identically named programs. I can think of one |
| 9 |
in particular, not in the tree at the moment, but both would belong in |
| 10 |
net-misc (two authors independantly wrote programs to do basically the |
| 11 |
same thing, with slightly different extra features, and then named them |
| 12 |
the same thing). |

Even if they aren't in the same category, support for identically named |
| 15 |
programs is important. |
