I'd be for not being so flat.
I reckon, follow biology.
There's kingdom.phyllus.class.order.family.genus.species
But in practice, that's far too clumsy. Instead, everyone just uses
genus.species. And this works even though there are more than a million
species.
So I reckon two levels of modules is enough. More than that is clumsy.
And, if you're not sure where something should be, because there are two
or more equally valid alternatives, it should probably be a level closer
to the root of the tree.
I'd not generalize that much. Sometimes two levels are enough, sometimes
there are three or more. I'd say "It depends" :)
And yes, I think we should have std.net package. Hey, packages were
created for that!
