I am also against another rename. These name changes are very costly and
disruptive.
There is code in several places that assumes that you can enumerate the
plugins selected by a project by enumerating the subdirectories of plugins.
If you allow a plugin root folder to be more than a single directory,
like "@cordova/plugin-device" then you break that code.
Also, please remember that when you rename a plugins, you require people
to update every <dependency> tag that refers to that plugin, unless you
want to rely on the rename machinery forever.

I also like scoped packages but am against another rename. Haha.
I know organizations are coming soon so we will be able to create the Cordova
organization and I believe scope packages that way. Add PMC members to the
organization to be able to publish instead of relying on a Cordova npm user
account.
Lets wait and see how it goes.
