A stupid question that just occured to me: should we be discouraging registering prefixes that match another prefix' contribution to the overly simplistic hash function used in almost all TeX engines? The purpose of hash prefixes is to make packages independent from one another even if there would be overlap without prefix, and at least regarding hash buckets and thus performance, an identical prefix hash would imply packages impacting one another where names overlap. -- David Kastrup
