[osol-discuss] Nameclash on svn_77 because Sun is ignoring PSARC discussions

Jörg seems to want the ARC and c-teams to use a different method than
they use today for deciding when some utility (or library, or whatever)
name is a conflict with another existing one.

I recommend that Jörg make a proposal for such a change without making
such a proposal specific to his troubles with star, compare, etc...

I'm not sure that we can come up with such a method that will: a) allow
OpenSolaris to evolve and grow, while b) preventing any conflicts with
Linux distros (and *BSDs) that are also growing and evolving at
different rates.  But it may be worthwhile to try.
