We'll see if we have the resources to support something like you suggest.
It is a much bigger effort, as anyone with a couple of hours to
spare can crank out a library.  Maybe we can publish the names
in an occasional newsletter;  that way you'll be able to scan the list
before you name your library.

There will still be conflicts of course, no matter what system is
used.  Unless...how about jimdos, brycedos, and bobdos ?  :-)

(Reserving names doesn't seem quite fair...at least reserving before
 the product is ready to ship :-)

Maybe its time for a *brilliant* linker...
