Hello,

I have observed that even though the exporter backend package names begin
with ox-, all the variables and functions inside still start with org-.

Is there a strong reason to do so? Or was that to prevent the older
org-html, etc packages from breaking when they got renamed to ox-html, etc?

So the question is if the new export backends should also follow the same
convention.

This question came up because if the ox- packages follow the convention
used in core, they fail the lint check done by an external package called
package-lint[1]. The lint checkers expects all variables and functions in a
package FOO to have FOO- prefix. Here[2] the discussion on that package's
GitHub issue thread.

PS: I believe it is the same case with ob- packages.

Thanks.
