It turns out that racket upstream will probably deprecate the binary planet in
the next upstream release, and claims that "raco planet" is the now
preferred interface.

So, although I still think this is really a bug in planet-venus, it
could also make sense to just remove the planet binary from racket.

That would probably be the easiest. Not the most just way to solve this conflict, but the easiest.

I believe we have two options here:


1. Rename planet-venus:/usr/bin/planet to /usr/bin/planet-venus (or perhaps to /usr/bin/venus)

Pro:
* This is what should have been done from the beginning. This is only a theoretical advantage though

Con:
* Will break the cron scripts of all the users of planet-venus. This can be dealt with by documenting it in a NEWS file and probably in the release notes too, but it would be annoying nevertheless, especially to lazy admins. :-)


2. Remove racket:/usr/bin/planet

Pro:
* This anticipates the ypstream decision. This is only a theoretical advantage too.

Con:
* It will annoy users, who would be annoyed by the upstream decision for the next release anyway.
