I believe we need to formalize when foo2 and foo3 are acceptable, and
when bar and bar-devel are more so.  This seems to be clearly a case of
the latter but it is really too late to do much about now.  What we can
do is not let it set a precedent so that if this was the 'wrong thing
to do' (tm) the chances of it happening again a somewhere between slim
and none.
