Bad timing as weekend has arrived for many, but please, I would appreciate
comments on this one *and* the earlier feedback in the ticket:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/997679
   -> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/997679#c14

Executive summary:

In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/997679 the package maintainer of SFML requests the SFML package to be renamed from SFML to sfml.

I told him this would violated the FPG, because packages are supposed to be named to after the tarball. However he continues to insist on this renamer and sent comment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/997679#c14 in response to make unmisunderstandibly clear that he leave me no choice but to reject his package rename request.

You are forcing me to do something I've never done in Fedora before:

(With my FPC-member hat on) This rename request violates the FPG,
because the upstream zip-ball is called SFML,
...
Source0:        http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/%{version}/SFML-%{version}-sources.zip
...
It therefore MUST NOT be ACCEPTED.
