There are currently a some more prefixes in the wild, and even some files without any prefix at all, or maybe wrong prefix. The idea was to make it easier to see a correspondence between the categories, the name of new packages and the location where they might will be installed (As Toby said: Net_* in Net/...). The main intention of the discussion was that a list of prefixes might help finding an appropriate name. Martin, if there are any cases where we need multiple prefixes, please explain those cases in a bit more detail - then we can see if multiple prefixes are needed or could be merged. Regards, Stefan
