We've actually got this wrong in the registry module currently. Shared utility code should not go into the Puppet namespace at all. The convention we've "standardized" [1] on is: "Start with PuppetX, put the CamelCase of your author name (from the Modulefile), then put the actual CamelCase of your module name" So the registry module should be PuppetX::PuppetLabs::Registry living in '<modulepath>/registry/lib/puppet_x/puppet_labs/registry.rb' Puppet::Modules::Registry is a bad example and should not be followed.
