app-admin/sudo and app-vim/sudo have ambigious short names. Simply typing emerge sudo will confuse portage even though one of them are very much more well known. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Write "sudo emerge sudo". 2.Watch it break. 3.Cry. Actual Results: Calculating dependencies !!! The short ebuild name "sudo" is ambiguous. Please specify !!! one of the following fully-qualified ebuild names instead: app-admin/sudo app-vim/sudo Expected Results: >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-admin/sudo-1.6.8_p8-r3 to / ... >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> app-admin/sudo-1.6.8_p8-r3 merged. Yea, it's a silly complaint but it's annoying. Can't we call the vim plugin sudo-vim/vim-sudo/sudo-not-the-real-thing or whatever?

No. If we renamed this one, we'd have to rename all packages that had the same name. That's why we have categories. To add to that, moving a package has the unfortunate side effect of losing all revision control history. Yes it's annoying but renaming it is not the solution.
