No, the facts of life involve birds and bees.. and Mrs. Garrett.

-jef"You want _more_ descriptive... how about we encode every single
tag into the packagename. You cant get more descriptive than that...
vendor..packager...license...summary...all of it.. in the frelling
packagename..for the sake of maximal descriptive power... and don't
forget the actual "description" tag as well.. it'd be really ironic to
leave out the tag dedicated to a verbose description in your effort to
reach the ultimately descriptive packagename regardless of the costs
to sanity and physical hardware limitations"spaleta
