The PR title and new directory will also need to be renamed from exercises/sattellite
to exercises/satellite
.

Should we modify the version here?

I think so.
MAJOR changes should be expected to break even well-behaved test generators.
Darn. That's how you spell it in Danish! I've fixed the typo everywhere but in the name of my feature branch. (Not sure how to do that without abandoning the PR.) |
I wouldn't worry about it.
I'm not sure it's possible. |
This commit renames the 'retree' exercise into 'satellite': - Decision: exercism/problem-specifications#1451 - PR: exercism/problem-specifications#1478
I rehash my prior allegations of #693 below: I contend that having the word `push` in the name unnecessarily biases the solution space toward solutions that use a stack data structure (has a *push* operation) or a *push*-down automaton, rather than other solutions not using either of these two. We have heard a principle that we want to name exercises by their story, not by what they teach: #1451 (comment) The story here is about matching brackets, so I posit that that serves as the name we want. I have changed the major version number, as was done in the retree->satellite rename, even though I do not feel strongly about whether that should be necessary: #1478 As we have gained experience in the rename of retree, we see that problem-specifications is free to rename exercises at any point, without waiting for all tracks to follow suit. Of course, this operation should not be performed lightly since it causes churn in the 31 (*thirty-one*) tracks implementing this exercise.
Following @petertseng's suggested workflow in #1451 (thanks for providing this, by the way!):

Question: Should the test version be bumped when the exercise name changes?
