I didn't say that.
Imagine that you create an application foo and it is a good application
and many people like it, therefore it is very popular and many
"improvements" come from everywhere to it. Then someone comes and
releases foo-ng (or foo2 or foo-better or foo-greater) with all those
patches that you rejected for some reason.
The only problem is that this name silently (and confusingly) states that:
1. foo-ng comes from the same author
2. foo-ng is better

I don't think that "bikeshed"-ing has something to do with that.
