+AD4 In Buster, Mutt means Mutt, and Neomutt means Neomutt.

Is there a formal policy or plan for how issues like this are handled in
the future +ACo-before+ACo flamewars begin?  There was a similar issue with

one group and offences were taken by others.  It just seems like a clear
policy could prevent a lot of these +ACI-name takeover+ACI issues.
