Yes, I know. :-)
Well, "it seems easier to force a convention when all the same related
packages live in the same file" so the current convention is the
cran.scm, ruby.scm or python.scm one. And I was suggesting to move the
packages related to Jupyter to its own module using the convention
'jupyter-' convention, e.g., 'jupyter-irkernel'. And even a more
uniformized naming scheme between all the kernels. As I said, I do not
know if it is a good idea or not. :-)
