That would be this one:
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.
This is coming across as "no policy on naming, therefore naming does
not really matter."
The only response I've gotten so far is
"merge into core", which is an
interesting response, but does not resolve the issue at hand, which is,
until we do so (assuming we do at some point after 1.17), what should
this extension be named?
Why does it have to wait until after 1.17, again?
I'm not defending the current name any more than
stating it's my
preference. I'm not only open to naming it something else, but I'm
asking for input on what to name it.
If it *has* to be its own extension and not a part of core of the
main UsabilityInitiative, my vote would be for something like
"VectorAddons" or similar.
