    Sure. But you need to look at it with context. New users have a hard time to remember how its correctly typed as a command, or it can be easily mistyped on a keyboard and not as fluid. These points do not apply to pharma industry and is just one example. Another point is when you do a websearch and what you get as a result. Its a complex topic on its own with many different points in itself… Just because others have weird and “bad” names, does not mean “we” should do the same. Package managers in an operating system are more than just a brand.

    But as you have a point (in your opinion), I recommend to discuss this in the issue itself with a recommendation of a name, if you have. Or if you like the current (which was actually a placeholder) name. Nothing against opinions, as this is the actual reason why they opened it up.

      I bookmarked it already and when I recover from COVID I’ll add my two bits … essentially, keep what you have, it’s unique, it’s memorable and already on every search engine.
