after so many years of software development (and with the policy of never having conflicting command names) what three letter combinations are still avilable?

I'm assuming that the much smaller pool of two letter commands was long since exhausted, but if not what two letter commands are available?

Not sure I understand the proper use of dpkg-divert in Debian, but could

the other to another name to some other name?

IIRC, that's against Policy too, because different users on the system
might have different expectations WRT which git is git.

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so 
simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make 
it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
