The herd naming issue has surfaced in more detail again - there were already |
2 |
two comments that it is beneficial to keep -sci in herd names. I originally |
3 |
suggested that we drop it (and in general go with a "catchier" names), but |
4 |
now it looks like I am slowly turning towards being more conservative |
5 |
myself :). That is to keep sci- and possibly resembel category names as much |
6 |
as possible. The reasoning: making life easier on bug wranglers and on |
7 |
everybody trying to search for the sci-related maintaince info or just to see |
8 |
the relationship between different packages.. Any thoughts? |

(A comment towards users, as they seemed to react to this issue more then devs |
11 |
last time. This is a completely internal stuff that you are not supposed to |
12 |
see or care about, unless you are willing to become a developer and maintain |
13 |
packages of course ;). This does not concern how the categories are named |
14 |
(nothing happens there actually, well, except for a few possible splits)). |
15 |
|
16 |
Anyway, I'd say it is best for the actual maintainers to decide for every |
17 |
herd. However if we have upwards of two herds retaining sci or following |
18 |
category naming I think it makes sense for all to keep it all consistent and |
19 |
follow.. |
