Yes, this reduces the clutter in the Zend folder and improves file-organization.
And Zend.php could be renamed to Core.php or Main.php and moved into Zend folder with Zend_Core/Zend_Main class in it. Alternatively, Zend.php can be safely moved into Zend folder (without any exceptions) and that file would have Zend_Zend class :-) For what it's worth, it is ideal to retain the Zend.php instead of splitting it up so the framework could build more utility functions into it in future - that does not fit anywhere. How about renaming it to Zend_Util, instead? With ZF at 0.8, it's not too late to implement this. Newbies do not like exceptions - however trivial they are.

Really no need to tell if a given name represents a package or not. Zend ..Filter ....Filter.php contains Zend_Filter_Filter ....Alpha.php contains Zend_Filter_Alpha So the only change is the name of the top level class in a package. The autoload routine remains unchanged. And of course if there was a module that was more or less independent from the other filter modules (perhaps some code for a specific language) then you could make is a subpackage. It really does make sense and except for doubling up some of the top level class names has no impact on the current design.
