I agree that the current naming system for the hash files is not the best one.
I talk with Dom on the IRC about this and he pointed out a few reasons to keep
using the old system (based mainly on backward compatibility).
I personally think that the barbarism files should have the same naming
convention that the hash files since they are heavily related, using other
naming convention I think it would add confusion.
My opinion is: when we change the name convention for the hash files we change
the name convention for the barbarism files.
Thanks,
