Here are a couple examples on what needs to be changed (see the 
individual commits)

It has been brought to my attention that we don't have a clear policy 
on how to use application ids and application names between different 
builds.

Some apps use Devel as a suffix to the app-id, some separating it with 
a dot, and some not. Some use (Nightly) or (Developement) as either a 
prefix or suffix to the app name.

It would be nice to agree on a convention and apply it, especially now 
that we're going to modify all apps.
