I wish there was, I don't like that model much.

Using a consistent convention at least tends to allow for release policies based on a regex, which means documentation at least is consistent.

But the main issue is just the extra work for you on all fronts, and that wasn't something the SP caused intentionally, it's just that it was built to solve a different problem.

Some of the extra hassle though would be addressed if InCommon had an API to use to register and maintain the metadata.
