Hi,

this idea came up last year.
Refer to
     http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2010-July/009504.html

Unfortunately this thread has not been continued.

Since this is a problem for any major release of central dependencies
we should think of a naming policy to avoid transition problems.

Cheers,

Matthias
