I'm now trying to understand the purpose of the renaming.  I thought the problem was that RPM packagers wanted something that was unlikely to collide.  Publishing on CPAN would be the way to claim the namespace.

What's the purpose of this idea then?  If there isn't one, I'd rather just keep the current names.
