Hi, Eli,

As usual, I defer this decision to you. I think it's reasonable to
support both names, and I also think it's reasonable to stick to
just the one we think is most used or representative of the
program.

In this case, I think "metals-emacs" is a contradiction of LSP's
stated goal, which is to have editor-agnostic servers. But I
don't know what the reasons were for doing this, I haven't
investigated.

It would be even more reasonable, I think, if distributions
settled -- or mostly settled - on names for their binaries they
distribute, much like *nix toolchains do. Of course we do not
control that process, but maybe we could influence it instead
of being constantly influenced by it.

João
