Rename to flint #5

Open isuruf opened 7 years ago

isuruf commented 7 years ago

This was named libflint because of a possible clash with https://pypi.python.org/pypi/flint. But that project is merged into flake8 and not maintained anymore. With that in mind, is it okay to rename this to flint?

I would not do renames in this situation. The only times I would recommend renames are

  1. when there is a conflict that needs to be accounted for
  2. Unification of names between conda forge and defaults.

This situation seems like you are taking an already deconflicted name and exposing it to future potential conflict. I don't think this is on defaults, but if it were, you would also make work for us.

I don't think anybody is using libflint other than me. There are 7 packages on conda-forge depending on this and all maintained by me.
