http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_Law_of_Triviality Naming and naming
conventions aren't trivialities.
Show me the convention for naming extensions and I will follow it. As
long as there is none, spending time going back and forth discussing the
name of something that users will never see is indeed spending time on a
trivial matter.
The issue here is not a color of the bike shed
problem. The issue is that
almost everyone who has commented is in favor of getting rid of the bike
shed and putting the bikes in the garage. The opposition to putting this
extension (these extensions) in core seems to be largely focused on a lack
of written process for when and when not to merge extensions into core.
That's an entirely different discussion, and the results of that
discussion have so far been that any such action is being deferred until
after 1.17.
