Indeed I agree, I also like consistency ;) even if Uros' patch was a bit 
overkill, maybe (AFAIK, alpha isn't *that* special as an example of 
greek letter, only because it happened to be associated to a successful 
architecture). Missing help from the front-end, the basic message of the 
incident should rather be that new (well Ed isn't really new ;) 
contributors should have a serious look at the BADNAMES file, before 
starting to code. Maybe the file itself should be easier to find and 
mentioned in the notes for new contributors, in the wiki, etc.

Paolo.
