The way you reach your conclusion from your premises is so illogical, you are casting doubt on your own ability to think logically enough to be a competent programmer.
The real reason Dianne has "quite a following" is because she really does know Android extremely well, having been at the center of everything Android since very near its beginning. And she has dispensed a great deal of valuable Android knowledge in this forum over the years, too, even if some of her responses were so brief they read like Delphic utterances:( And not surprisingly, Dianne is 100% correct on this one: hard coding package names is bound to break the code, whether now or in the future. If it really is, as you say, a "hard requirement" then you are going to have to resign yourself to having broken code. You have been warned, don't shoot the messenger. Go back to your client and explain the consequences of this "hard requirement". You just might find it is not such a "hard requirement" after all. Finally, I have argued with Dianne about some things (usually related to the overly brief character of her replies), but I have never sent her or any other group member 'hate mail'. Don't go there, if anyone else goes there, don't support them, distance yourself from them.
