Darren is saying that freshmeat did not prevent the conflict, thus it's
not a suitable registry.

This:

http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=compare+imagemagic&section=projects&Go.x=0&Go.y=0

says nothing.

It seems that freshmeat doesn't index the interfaces delivered by any
one project.  That means that freshmeat.net is not a remotely useful as
a registry of command-names for any OS's /usr/bin.

I imagine that there is not site that can serve the purpose of a
registry today.
