What to do with the 'leveldb' package in npm about community HOT 5 CLOSED

That can cause confusion too. The main package for newcomers is level, rather than leveldown by itself.

I like the current symmetry with other *downs. Instead of renaming, there's always room for improvement in the documentation, to explain the concept of up + down = level and to point people in the right direction.

And in general, unless there's a legal reason, I strongly dislike renaming a package with this age. It cuts the historical record in half.

👍 for releasing leveldown as leveldb.

Today I run into this issue in sudden because I'm wondering about who is using the leveldb npm name.

It would be really nice to rename leveldown to leveldb because it will be a clearer name and prevent confusing new comers who want to use leveldb.

For the considerable future, the answer to "What to do with the 'leveldb' package" is "nothing".
