Ok it seems most people with a preference prefer KDE/X.Y over X.Y and for valid reasons<br>1) Other non-kde blessed branches can have obvious names.<br>2) Kdelibs, base, etc. are already KDE/X.Y<br>3) More modules are already KDE/X.Y than X.Y so less to fix when enforcing consistency. (after looking at which repos would need to change, I'm not so sure about this one...)<br>
<br>Thus I propose we agree to use KDE/X.Y for official kde release branches going forward and after tagging tomorrow put a notice on relevant mailing lists and on techbase. Then one week later perform the required changes to existing repositories.<br>

</div>I think they should, here's my reasoning:<br>
<br>
The KDE part of the branch name means it's our "official" branch, i.e. it's<br>
done by KDE (not by individuals acting on their own), so basically our<br>
official namespace. We use $name/feature elsewhere, and I think KDE/5.37 would<br>
blend in nicely here. On top of that, it gives some continuity.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
