I know a guy who rewrote a tool from scratch and insists on calling
the tool <tool>2, instead of just renaming it.  He can't seem to stand
leaving off the numeral, even though literally no one anywhere uses the
first version (it was only used on his own network).  Pick a new name, or
drop the 2, unless you're transitioning (or running Debian, apparently).
