I wonder where this requirement to put all tags in the package name comes from?
While looking at the long list of package names, it's hard to find a package
whose name immediately hints at what it does. This is a non-problem
that is solved in all package managers by using tags and full-text search.
And indeed list-package allows both ways, e.g. when someone is interested
in Prolog, then it's easy to type '/ k' (package-menu-filter-by-keyword).
Or try to use '/ d erlang RET' (package-menu-filter-by-description)
and see that almost no package has it in the package name,
yet these packages can be easily found:
auto-complete-distel melpa Erlang/distel completion backend for
auto-complete-mode
company-distel melpa Erlang/distel completion backend for
company-mode
company-erlang melpa company backend based on ivy-erlang-complete
distel-completion-lib melpa Completion library for Erlang/Distel
edts melpa Erlang Development Tool Suite
erlang melpa Erlang major mode
erlstack-mode melpa Minor mode for analysing Erlang stacktraces
ivy-erlang-complete melpa Erlang context sensitive completion at point
using ivy
lfe-mode melpa Lisp Flavoured Erlang mode
