+junk is a bad label

[Display Name]

Junk: discarded material -- The Free Dictionary.

There should be a better tag to describe non-project branches. A few suggestions:

+misc
+jungle
+branches
+bundles
+code
+orphaned

[Matt Nordhoff (mnordhoff)]

What about:

+misc

?

+junk is not descriptive and sounds unprofessional, hackerish and stupid.

I find +junk very useful for my own branches that I want to be hosted at Launchpad, but I very much resent that Launchpad labels my software as "junk".

What if I wanted a prospective employer to check out some of my software? Would I refer them to my +junk branches? Probably wouldn't impress them very much. Launchpad should have a neutral and professional wording on the site.

I suggest something like "+user" instead, which also signals that the author does not want those to be part of a project.
