sure, we wanted this name as well but pacman doesn't support versioned replaces. Have you followed my discussion with Ray? If not, then your message is useless.
I have followed it. But I also told you that it's not a problem in my opinion if people have to do some manual work for upgrading it once. Just post an announcement about the changes to the News section of the website, the mailing lists and/or the wiki. This is only necessary once. Nevertheless, do you really need versioned replaces? I mean Arch Linux is a rolling release distro which contains only one version (the latest) of each package in the repos. So you can assume that people always use the most up-to-date versions. Heiko
