Ok, assume, you are developer :). And you ship some app on your website
(we name it "portmaster"). And you implement plugin framework for it,
and release the first plugin that you name
"portmaster-plugin.do-the-best" (i know it's rather stupid name, but
it's an example), that will allow to user successfully build any port
(even if it broken on that user's arch, and even if it not exists yet)
without any problems. And you just announce it on the offsite: "Please
install that portmaster-plugin.do-the-best and you will forget about all
the problems you expected earlier days". And there is some kind soul
that added it to ports tree with name "portmaster-plug-in_dothebest",
since he decide that it's better than original name and some unnecessary
dots and spaces is avoided too. User just can't find it in the tree and
will continue crying on the ports@ that FreeBSD ports is such
unprofessional and unconvinient :)
