While this is true and somewhat handy, there can be unexpected situations such as two independent developers (or teams) coming up with two different things that have...the exact same name -- this is true for "Nimbus"; there is an extension and a skin with that name; the skin likely predates the extension, but unlike the extension, the skin wasn't always FOSS.
We actually also have a Vector extension (thankfully discontinued now) and a Vector skin (and both were made by the same team, too! ;) ).
