naming convention for old crufty packages with valuable names

[Neil Van Dyke]

FYI, given the single namespace of all Racket package names, I was
trying to figure out to what to do with old Scheme packages that were
still in use, but which had names that I didn't want to waste on archaic
APIs. I ended up just appending "-old" to the old package name.

BTW, I don't see a mechanism/process for keeping people from stomping
over particularly important package names (like "rfc<number>" or
"object"), with poor-quality interfaces/implementations.

The mechanism is gentleness, meekness, and love unfeigned. People,
including me, keep an eye on contributions and try to give helpful
suggestions and nudges to work together to produce excellent software.
