Hi,
I wonder what keeps us from renaming e.g. the package python23 to
python2.3 to make the version number clear. (There had been a discussion
on this topic some weeks ago.)
[ ] There are operating systems that cannot handle dots
[ ] dots in package names are dangerous
[ ] separating the version number from the package name would be harder
