Description

By now there are no more packages without the "purescript-" prefix on Pursuit. So maybe we should just not show it anymore? It adds a lot of visual noise and the listing would be much nicer without it.

What is actually the future of the "purescript-" prefix? If I remember correctly this was a way to avoid name collisions with JavaScript packages on Bower, but with a switch to purescript/registry this won't be necessary anymore, right?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. First inspect how Pursuit builds and renders package listings, then trace where the "purescript-" prefix is displayed and review the registry migration context. Done means the intended prefix behavior is decided and the listing consistently reflects it.
