Our naming conventions are not tables of law, they were written to solve
specific problems and the people who wrote them didn't think about this
particular case, so now they'll have to think about it, come with a
solution, put it in the guidelines and everyone will be happy.

Instead of screaming "they're not following the holy guidelines" please
spent 5s thinking about what the guidelines are about (solve technical
problems).

I'd have thought the somewhat irritated intervention of Paul Nasrat and
all the posts about technicalities vs æsthetics would have make all this
clean.

(and BTW these people don't _need_ the guidelines, they were doing
inter-repo multi-package-updater updates when Fedora Core was still
thinking "the next anaconda run will clean it all")
