Here’s the problem with renaming: in casks, we follow a stricttoken referenceto avoid duplicates (it was an issue in the past). One of the rules that changed was the- app
suffix: initially you could never use it, then we made a special case for it, then we reverted to the original rule. For this to be renamed tomongodbapp
makes it an outlier which will cause confusion. We’d be making thebrew
users less confused at the expense of thebrew cask
users.

If having themongodb

is an issue, I'd prefer if a note about it were added ininstall
, just like it was insearch
