+ -- Add _thr and other rts suffixes to packages named
+ -- `rts` or `rts-1.0`. Why both? Traditionally the rts
+ -- package is called `rts` only. However the tooling
+ -- usually expects a package name to have a version.
+ -- As such we will gradually move towards the `rts-1.0`
+ -- package name, at which point the `rts` package name
+ -- will eventually be unused.
+ --
+ -- This change elevates the need to add custom hooks
+ -- and handling specifically for the `rts` package for
+ -- example in ghc-cabal.
