I agree that it makes the project consistent to have the package names changed to org.apache.apex. However, it seems like an unnecessary overhead to make a major version change for just changing package names. I may be wrong but is there a major feature set in the proposed vote that deems for a major version change? The current package names do not affect any users in functionality - I would recommend making the package name change in a 4.0 branch but decide on major version change based on feature set supporting it.
As for 1.0, it seems weird to go back in version. I do not agree that just because some operators have @evolving tag it means the malhar library is not mature. Many applications are in production using the current malhar operators - that speaks about maturity. Until there is a major feature set supporting a major version upgrade, here is my vote: -1 for major version change to 4.0 just for package name changes and cleanup activities -1 for major version change to 1.0 +1 to still make package name changes in a 4.0 branch and wait for major version change to 4.0 until we have a major feature set supporting it.
