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.. |
