Distribution Package Name

[TimmRuppert]

From my understanding, the goal is to provide a drop-in replacement for the current open-simulation-interface distribution package. To what extent do we accept breaking changes?

One example:
With the distribution package name change from open-simulation-interface to osi-python, I encountered a breaking change. Previously, this worked:

from importlib.metadata import version
version("open-simulation-interface")

Now it requires:

from importlib.metadata import version
version("osi-python")

I assume this change was intentional to avoid replacing the existing Python package. If so, what is the reasoning behind it? Isn’t the intention to provide a true drop-in replacement?
