This is true for new users (and hopefully there will be many of them)
but existing release users including spins etc will be seeing this as
part of the upgrade. Standard really suggests that products are
non-standard which is exactly the wrong impression to provide. generic
or vanilla seem much better.
Well "seeing this as part of the upgrade" is a bit strong. I don't know
about you, but I don't actually examine every single package that fedup
adds to my system. Packagers will know it's there, but the average (or
even most expert) users will never really notice it unless we draw their
attention. The exception of course being the docs we will inevitably
write to convert from non-productized to one of the Products.
Anyway, changing it at this point would require an annoying amount of
Obsoletes: work that is probably not worth the effort (but if Dennis
Gilmore thinks it's worth it, I certainly won't stop him).
