Well, I suppose that the end result was forseeable...

Now in the ports tree we have erwin, edwin, and erwn.

I propose a ban on people and ports whose names are too similar. All new
ports with names similar to "erwin" must have a unique 10-digit
alphanumeric prefix, and all new committers with names similar to
"erwin" must submit an mpeg of them dancing in lederhosen to "My Name
Is," so that we may have a clear mental picture of exactly whom we are
thinking.

Yes, yes, I know my plans are brilliant.
