HI,

In the thread on guidelines for distributions I suggested some common naming to 
help with trademarks, branding and be in line with release policy.

There's a possible security issue here, as people could (in theory) take over 
the old name and put something malicious there if the old name was removed.

Can rename GitHub
https://help.github.com/articles/renaming-a-repository/

Can’t rename docker
https://success.docker.com/article/how-do-you-rename-a-docker-hub-repository

Can’t rename on NPM
Can’t rename but can deprecate and point to new one

Can rename on PiPy
Is possible but also supports deprecate. But best to use abandon feature and 
pick a replacement.

 I think we’re fine with:
- GitHub is OK as it controlled by INFRA
- Docker is OK as /u/apache is controlled by INFRA. Outside that space is a 
concern.
- NPM you can deprecate one and point to new one so no one can take the old 
package
- PiPy you can use abandon and point to a replacement so none can take the old 
package

Any other concerns?

Thanks,
Justin
