Glad to be appreciated for my dubious talents. It was either that, or the
explanatory YouTube video of kittens again.
Writing that short bit got to be a pain after the first sentence or so, but
that was my point: imagine trying to rename all the packages! And then they
will have to be correlated with all the legacy KDE3 and present TDE names.
Batch renaming won't work too well, because too many packages have awkward
names (e.g., knetworkmanager=network-manager-tde) which resist a simple K>T
conversion. We would be better off to start over from scratch; otherwise, as
Take* said, it's legacy, history.
Until we have enough TDE users, who care enough to change it, there is not
much inconvenience, and surely we can just live with it.
It's okay if we're a little messy, I think, so long as we are consistent; but
at present we are bound to the old KDE3 names.
Bill

I was joking...
I don't like KDE, too heavy and complex.
I prefer TDE and not use letter "K" anymore.
tde-write, tde-konqueror... ?
