Since our ecosystem was already madly in love with codenames when the
openSUSE people joined the fun, we went with the openstack-$BLA naming
scheme right from the beginning :-) A long history of pain (speak
clashes) made us do that for all kinds of things, thus we enforce
prefixes like ruby-, python(3)-, go- and java- for whenever it makes sense.

BTW. and while you're at it, the same holds true for daemon user names
in /etc/passd, we've also had bug reports due to clashes there :-)
