Renaming the package would be an unfair punishment of our users (and
to us: dealing with transitions is not that easy).

ISO is not necessarily at fault here, after all, this is an
organisation who gathers National Standard bodies.

Those who suck, indeed, are those National Standards bodies who voted
yes (DE, IE) or abstained (FR).

Only something really symbolic should be done: we don't want to punish
our users for the behaviour of ISO members.
