Ok, when I upload a package it warns me about unallocated names? How are names allocated, and who makes the decisions here?
It's complaining if the first component of a hierarchical module name doesn't come from a certain set. There was once a plan to allocate the module namespace, but it's pretty dormant:

Leon's presumably talking about postgresql-simple-0.2.4.1, which uses Database.PostgreSQL.* Hackage2 will currently complain about anything that doesn't start with one of: Algebra, Codec, Control, Data, Database, Debug, Distribution, DotNet, Foreign, Graphics, Language, Network, Numeric, Prelude, Sound, System, Test, Text Does anyone think that this check is currently useful, or should I just turn it off?
