Please reconsider. (As Josip and others has discussed on the list)
Just pick sensible names for the packages and commands.

With funny capitalization, software command name may be OK but all lower
case package name is not sensible thing to do.
For all these X-GUI program, command file name are secondary value and
menu entry has more impact to the user experience.
Name grabbing by X-GUI program has little added values while
contaminating name space. Some prefix to indicate group of X-GUI
subclass will have real benefit.

Do not you think "making GNUstep apps easy to find by the user" is a
very "good reason"? Just add "gnustep-" as some other packages. Why
not?
