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