I understand the sentiment, but in this case think the opposition is a
false one. If people with scientific, but not computer-scientific,
software to package think pkg-scicomp is not for them, they'll go
somewhere else. That will impede coordinated effort. I don't know how
likely that is to happen, but it seems enough of a chance to be a little
careful with the name.
I also have a question about WordNet. I know in the past there was an
issue with package what were essentially large databases (I think that
may have come up for astronomical and geographic data). Would that be
an issue for Wordnet?
