As discussed in the maintainer meeting on 2024-01-29. Mainly this is to avoid a situation where the name is parsed and treated as a file name, mostly to protect users. .-* and ..-* are also considered invalid because they might strip on that separator to remove versions. Doesn't really work, but that's what we decided, and I won't argue with it, because .-* probably doesn't seem to have a real world application anyway. We do still permit a 1-character name that's just "-", which still poses a similar risk in such a situation. We can't start disallowing trailing -, because a non-zero number of users will need it and we've seen how annoying and painful such a change is. What matters most is preventing a situation where . or .. can be injected, and to just get this done. |
