Previously, the Arduino library specification required the library.properties `name` field value to start with a letter. Before Arduino IDE 1.8.4, library folder names starting with a number were not supported. Because the library folder for Library Manager installations is named according to the library.properties name value, it was necessary to apply the same restriction to the name value. It was determined that enough time has passed since the Arduino IDE 1.8.4 release to reflect this change in the Arduino library specification.
