I knew about the *-devel namespace thing, since I've been a Fedora user since
1.92, and I knew that this hurdle would come up. Of course, my opinion didn't
carry much weight because it's an undocumented convention, and they were doing
things by the book.

It's a good point that it isn't written down anywhere. Warren made some nice
technical observations that could serve as a basis for making this into an
explicit policy.

I'd imagine that since this package already has a significant community around
it once it gets included in Fedora we'll find a lot of those people more active
in Fedora. Being "internal" to Red Hat doesn't make you any less of a community
member. I was a Fedora user before I joined Red Hat, and I'll be one after I'm gone.

As far as the name for the package goes, when considering a package name, as
seasoned hands know, the overriding consideration, beyond all technical
concerns, and especially when you're talking community, is "how will it look on
a t-shirt?"

I'd definitely wear a t-shirt with "Endoculator" on it, and someone sent me a
logo proposal for "Documentation-devil", which I'll attach to the bug. I've
already ordered a t-shirt from Cafe Press. Even it doesn't end up as the package
name, it can be a momento of this bug. :-)

So I'm +1 on Endoculator or documentation-devil for a package name.
