(But it may be considered too late...) In general, IMO it's fine for a library to have a short prefix for the names it uses (at least 2 chars + hyphen). But the prefix shouldn't be confused with the library name. That is, there's no reason a library name needs to be so short that it becomes obscure. I'm guessing that's what happens sometimes: the library and prefix are the same (for whatever reason). I've even noticed in one of the recent threads that a discussion about too-short prefixes (e.g. `s-', not to mention just `-') at some places morphed temporarily into a discussion of the corresponding library name, `s.el'.
