Comment (by apedog):

 I'm not in disagreement with WP.org plugin naming policy.
 I see what you deal with on a regular basis. I'm confident your decisions
 in the matter are well-thought-out and balanced.

 I'm only saying these are two ''entirely'' separate issues: The WP.org
 naming policy (which is what you're talking about), and how plugins should
 communicate their status to WP core (which is what I and @jb510 above
 trying to address).

 If five years from now WP.org changes its naming policy (for whatever good
 reasons may arise), plugin authors today should still have a way to
 safeguard their plugins from accidentally being associated with a plugin
 hosted on WP.org. Which is the current default in core.

 And on an unrelated (and slightly facetious) note:
 > Besides the fact that 'google-tag-manager' is disallowed for trademark
 reasons (unless you're Google)
 Really?
 I actually use this plugin. Please don't remove it. It does what it says
 it does.
