I encourage everyone to look at the bug report(s) in question.
Jonathan is "happy to work on patches" but not so happy to discuss
the possibility that changing the ham radio package is not just as simple
as renaming the binary and man pages, or the potential disruption to
systems hams are running.

Please weigh in with your opinions and thought on what it would take to
successfully change /usr/sbin/node in the node package to /usr/sbin/axnode
including the potential problems this may cause to existing systems.

Thanks,
