That is unfortunate, but it is your choice regardless. If the nagios-plugins package name will indeed be frozen and treated as a transitional package, I think we should offer an option for the upgrade path between the two new packages. I still contend that the name "nagios-plugins" should retain the current source and name through future releases, but offer a choice through the transitional period.

If a new package name for both projects is a requirement, "nagios-core-plugins" fits the Nagios Enterprises controlled project better than other suggestions as we are also the organization developing and supporting core, as well as continuing to support a rather large number of nagios-plugins users on our forums. The plugins package's main target is Nagios Core and I feel it would be disingenuous to label it as "nagios-enterprises-plugins" as it is still a free, open source project.
