That's not the point of mailing packaging@ list.

If nobody has strong feelings about it, that is much better input than not
having asked at all. The packaging@ list is still advertised on the FPC's page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_Committee#Discussions

Solving name conflicts can be very hard, especially if upstream is not willing
to help in any way:
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts#Approaching_Upstream

While it may be trivial to choose a different _package name_, a future package
may include files that conflict. Then the real fun will start. Just imagine
conflicting executables, Python module paths or shared libs.


> snappy + python-snappy

"First come, first served" is quite common when naming packages. I don't see
any benefit in renaming "python-snappy" to something like
"python-python-snappy" without knowing the details how that would avoid any
conflict with stuff from the "SnapPy" project.
