well, in some cases, the CSWxxx name doesnt realliyhave to be
"readable", that's what our "software name" is for.  the PKG name is
there almost just as a placeholder.

and an argument AGAINST having - in the names:

CSWxxx-yyy  does not double-click-select in xterm. you ahve to click
and drag to select it.
in contrast, some_software_name selects as a single word.

So, another vote for "no - in PKG names at all", if we are insisting
on One True Standard.
