This seems reasonable. Is anyone opposed to:
kernel-module-GFS
kernel-module-openafs
kernel-module-unionfs
kernel-module-ati
kernel-module-nvidia
Could we also evolve to a lowercase standard for package names ? This
example shows a clear example of why uppercase or mixed case could be
confusing or problematic.
Other distributions already moved (or are evolving) to lower case as the
default. (Even though perl is a good exception where uppercase and strict
names are important)
