Constellation names

Whoever set up this series of articles didn't think too much about the future, clearly. Didn't they wonder if other articles might want the names Indus, Crater, Perseus (and all the other Greek gods/godesses/etc), Lynx, Sculptor, etc, etc? )If I'm coming across as slighlty cranky, I am, because now we're in for a ton of work, moving them all to "{Foo} (constellation)", all of which could have been avoid with a little cogitation.
