[csw-maintainers] commentary on shared library naming proposal

[Ben Walton]

Excerpts from Philip Brown's message of Tue Nov 16 12:00:41 -0500 2010:

> "The benefit " is supposed to be for the user, not the maintainer OR
> the release manager. :)

Sebastian made a valid point in this regard.  Other than a few extra
http fetches, they typically won't notice (in any meaningful sense)
whether they grab a few extra packages or not.

What they _will_ notices is nicer transitions of packages as
_maintainers_ have a lot more freedom to upgrade packages gradually
instead of as a big lump.

This should result in a better user experience overall.

Thanks
