I think those names sound like a good start, but if one is a subset of the
other (that is, both are for movies but one is more general than the other),
then they ought to be named lugnet.x and lugnet.x.y rather than lugnet.x and
lugnet.x.y -- if that makes any sense.

Not really. Tell me the difference between

lugnet.x and lugnet.x.y  (the first one)

and

lugnet.x and lugnet.x.y (the second one)

if you would...

But I agree with your thesis, I think. Specific usually ought to be a subset
of general.

The problem here is... is a lego movie a kind of software, a kind of
publication or a kind of rendering? The answer is all three, of course, but
with strict hierarchical groups no matter where you put it you can argue
it's wrongly placed.
