Hi,

according to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522988#c14
packages shouldn't get names that are general terms like "parser" or
"smtp". If this is actually the case, "ascii" is probably an
inappropriate name too.
Should the package requested in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523799
therefore be prefixed or renamed even if "ascii" is the upstream name?
Or is it OK as is, after all?

Well, Debian has this package under it's original name.

However, IMO, the better question would be: Why should Fedora ship it?

I think it's functions are aptly handled by Google. That said, there might be offline uses, etc. Besides, we have a whole SIG centered around packages of dubious utility.
