I side with Benoit on this one ; who cares if 2 user components are
conflicting ? If they share the same name, there's a big chance
they're doing the same job. The application writer choses the one
he prefers. It's all about empowering normal users ;  making them
contribute, showing them how easy it is to realize an idea. It's
not like it would corrupt the official tree.
