FPC maintains packaging guidelines. If you think that BLAS/LAPACK
packages should have their own guideline, then file a proposition to
the FPC. FESCO is still there if the matter needs to be escalated from
the FPC.
Also, I'd still like to remind that the case of LAPACK/BLAS is
analogous to that of MPI - both follow the same standard, meaning the
same symbols in different implementations of the standard.
In the case of MPI there was a need to totally separate the different
implementations, because otherwise esoteric problems could arise. Why
would this case be different?
What about runtime C libraries, should you be able to switch those as
well?
