Description Walter 2013-07-07 07:04:09 UTC
The phrase "... must not begin with a hyphen" is duplicate since package names can already not begin with a hyphen or a plus sign.

Reproducible: Always

There's nothing wrong with some extra redundancy. Here it improves readability.
Comment 2 Walter 2013-07-07 11:53:05 UTC
As a native English speaker, given the audience for the document (technical people), I wouldn't waste their time giving them a rule then asking them to cross-reference it somewhere else and realise that it's redundant. That's just pointless.
