+no need to assume &amp; judge me, i know pretty well that the name i supplied is
+not a name we have.
+

+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; a path is.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; it's acceptable for me to:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; - no caps
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; - better ordering
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; - consistent arch adding
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; but using pathnames, albeit the best consistency, is not good.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Why ?
+</I>
+it's imho and because of the reason and example above.
+
+&gt;<i> &gt; imho we should be able in cli to use a unique identifier, but it doesn't
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; have to be the name as seen.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; if we can use urpm* commands with the path name as identifier, that's ok
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; for me too.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Having multiple unique identifiers for each media is not what I would
+</I>&gt;<i> call user-friendly. We already have the name as unique identifier, there
+</I>&gt;<i> is no need to add an other one.
+</I>
+noone said anything about &quot;multitple unique identifiers&quot;. be that as it may,
+from a user pov: if we have name + unique_id and GUI shows name, or we have
+name + description and GUI shows description is more or less the same if 1st
+name is similar to 2nd description.
+
+in short, if rpmdrake shows a short description instead of where name is now
+and name is mentioned of lesser importance, i'm ok with this.
+
+that would indeed make urpmi commands use path and rpmdrake still show
+(descriptive name/description)
+
+if that's what you mean, maybe you should've been more clear on this. then i'm
+sure even Stormi agrees...
