[wp-hackers] Plugin Name Collisions

[Jacob Santos]

Thanks.

That is fascinating to me, because I had thought that it depended on the 
name. It has been a long time, since I was last informed about the 
plugin updater. If that is the case, then it is not documented and could 
also be a bug. Should ping wp-testers and will do so after I try something.
