Hey all,
Some people have noticed that their package `X` was migrated as `mrt:X` rather than `username:X`. This is because we didn’t know what their Meteor Developer username was, and couldn’t do too much about it.
If you have such a package and would like to take control of it, please head to atmosphere.meteor.com/accounts and associate your MD username with your atmosphere account. Then let me know. I’ll give you access and you can take me off!

On the subject of changing the name of the package to `username:X`:
1. Package renaming will be coming in a future Meteor release. This is the “official” way to do this.
2. You can of course just release the renamed package yourself. But there are two big issues with this:
a) `mrt migrate-app` won’t know and so many existing users will not get the change.
b) If any other package `Y:Z` depends on `mrt:X`, then there be big dramas if users have both `username:X` and `Y:Z` installed [1].
Thanks everyone, and cheers to package authors for fixing their packages up in a timely fashion, I’m sure the community appreciates it.
