They have always been "pivot.*" by design. I've personally never been
a big fan of the "org.*" or "com.*" naming scheme. I think it is
outdated and needlessly verbose (.NET doesn't use it, and it makes the
code more readable, IMO).
Also, not all Java package names begin with "org" or "com"; e.g.
"java.*", "javax.*", and "javafx.*". Pivot provides functionality that
competes directly with classes that live in these packages. The
"pivot.*" name is meant to convey a stronger sense of credibility - it
implies that these classes are on par with their JDK equivalents.
Otherwise, they seem less "official". It would be unfortunate if we
had to change it.

To the point of getting harassed vehemently. AFAIK it is a blocker for
graduation. All incubating projects have done so, and the only reason
not to do it is having to comply with a standard.
