Very good point! That's exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to
get. Pushing a library to Maven Central isn't easy to rewind, if it's
possible at all. So I want to make sure beforehand, that the right thing
is going to get there.

So, here's my explanation, and I hope it is reasonable:

I just used the artifactId which is defined in the pom.xml
shipped with Clojure since r502 (2007-10-30). Why "clojure-lang" was
chosen in favour of just "clojure" confused me too, so I can not give a
good explanation. Maybe Rich or the original contributor can?

But, since Clojure has shipped this artifactId for 18 months now, it has
materialized in many people's repo like that, I guess. In fact, the
official 1.0 distribution "clojure-1.0.0.zip" has been shipped with this
pom.xml. It seems a matter of fact, that in the maven world Clojure
sails under the "clojure-lang" flag since day zero.

So I refused to change that quasi-standard, as I don't want to confuse
other people, who got used to "clojure-lang" in their maven world.

What shall we do then?
