Re: [equinox-dev] Prosyst contributions

As someone who spent quite some time browsing Eclipse packages, trying to understand which code that does what and grasping various concepts that are perhaps not too well documented, I've learned to appreciate package names that brings clarity. In that respect, I consider "provisioning" a much better choice then "ip".

Thomas Hallgren

I also think ip is a bit too minimalist. Certtainly as the bundle symbolic name. I am less concerned as the package name.

I'm glad I'm not alone. I've asked the question to a wider audience to
see if they'd get the reference:
