Waybar [1] just had an update where it pulled in a project called
"date" [2]. I'm hesitant to package this under the name "date" since
GNU coreutils shares a binary with that name. But this isn't a totally
obscure library.
Should I persuade upstream to change the name? Should I package it under
another name? Or should I lay claim to the unused "date" package name
and go on with my life?
