Mike, At this time I wouldnt be very worried about the naming conflict. OpenPKG is very up front with their naming, and I do not consider it a very valid argument that consumers could be confused. Idealling when OPM is complete, it would become synonymous with the SVR4 package management, hence no real name to reference it by product name.
