It's more something like "it was uploaded first with that name and
uploading it with the new name would put it in NEW queue what would be
not very useful for just a name change" and after all this name change
wouldn't have any improvement in the use of this libraries, after all a
maintainer will choose which one is the library needed, not a random
user. I don't see the conflict in letting the name as is other that "but
there's another library called libtorrent"...
