I suggest the vote should call out if the change is breaking backward
compatibility or not.
I looked through the scala name changing thread and don't see justification
for a backward incompatible change.
I do agree it would be good to change the name space, but have not seen a
reason why the change has to be made now in backward incompatible way.
Non-binding vote:
+1 for backward compatible namespace change
-1 for backward incompatible namespace change

Suggest to explore package aliasing for a backward compatible change - see
a possible idea at
