What is wrong with the Linux world that prevents it from using human
readable package names that indicate its FUNCTION?

Fedora-package-manager was not cool? Too obscure?
It can then provide a "fpm" alias via the alias shell function, that calls
the longname version. What would be wrong with that?

And for compatibility reasons, aliases could be provided to the olver
package names (provided the basic syntax is unchanged wrt command line
parameters).

Is there any conscious effor to prevent modern Linux from using Human
Readable Package Names?  -lets call such effort  *HuRePaN*
;)
