RE: RE: Package organization - Why no top-leve l module?

At second glance, what I was referring to was a "packaging" issue, and what
you are referring to is a package organization issue (distinct as the former
is a deployment issue, and the latter a development issue).  After giving
this more thought, what you are saying makes more sense.
