Hi Gaetan,

My main concern here is that it is not as simple as it just being
Kyle's decision, it sets a precedent. I believe the naming is
incorrect, and as such, should be fixed. I have tried initiating a
conversation with the maintainer but with that didn't result in
anything.

I really don't want to step in anyone's toes, I have postponed this
email as much as I could. Giving the lack of the reply from Kyle, one
can only assume he does not care that much about the issue. I am fine
with waiting one or two weeks before taking action to make sure he has
time to reply, if there are no objections.

I have delayed bringing new GNURadio blocks to [community] due to the
naming issue. I would like to have this resolved soon.

All I am trying to do is work together, but failing. As I said above,
this decision affects more than Kyle's packages.

Nobody is denying him of him opinion or decision rights, he is free to
speak up at any time. I would be very happy to have a discussion with
him about the issue :)

Cheers,
Filipe Laíns
