By mistake I sent the email from a different address than one I use in AUR,
I am sorry for the confusion that it may have cause

I am involved with neither of those packages, I am just pointing out that
there
is a naming schema, good or bad, in community and I made my suggestion on
that.

If there is a history between those packages, I wasn't aware of it, and if
your
decision is based on that, I respect it and don't have a say in the matter.
