Right - it had crossed my mind.
I did a little digging and as far as I can tell
the last release that shipped with elm was RHL 7.3 (2002).
(I don't see it in Fedora Extras either.)
So I hope this is not a big concern still now.
But it might be an additional argument for
calling this package "Elm" instead of "elm". :)

(If it is really is a concern perhaps we could call
it elm-lang in line with the upstream website
but this will only makes maintenance life harder.)
