Literal Names Policy (i.e. how to name packages)

I have mixed feelings about the literal naming policy, and I agree with @Sebastian. It is really nice to be able to search for a package based on its functionality, but it makes it complicated to try and find a specific package. It’s confusing and difficult to find the version of Elm WebGL that is the correct, up-to-date version, winding a path through a deprecated elm-community package, to a specific author’s version of that package, back to the up-to-date elm-community version.

I mean… Elm isn’t called “delightful language for reliable webapps”. That’s its description. It can be handy to have some marketing and presentation.
