Earlier, you described this policy as "not written down". That's not a policy, in my opinion.

And we should consider deviating from it when people have strong feelings about it.

Already, we seem to have alienated the author of a Guile package, which is tragically counterproductive.

And really, what's so bad about naming the package of the g-golf program "g-golf"? We've deviated from these informal guidelines before and the world kept turning.
