Perhaps packages that are borderline irrelevant should not squat on prime name real estate. Plus cant rip ship as rip-py and still install as rip on the bet that nobody is actually going to be trying to use these tools simultaneously?

Name reuse is a huge security concern and probably shouldn't be done even if a name is under-utilized.

rip isn't really planned as a tool that you would install on your computer. It's a low-level library.

Agreed no one uses those defunct tools like awk or roff, let's re-use them!

Who cares if every build script in the world breaks, progress waits for no one.
