Executive summary:

In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/997679 the package maintainer of SFML 
requests the SFML package to be renamed from SFML to sfml.

I told him this would violated the FPG, because packages are supposed to 
be named to after the tarball. However he continues to insist on this 
renamer and sent comment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/997679#c14 in 
response to make unmisunderstandibly clear that he leave me no choice 
but to reject his package rename request.
