In general the simplicity of the proposed mechanism and implementation is attractive. However, this bit of discussion struck me as sending the wrong message. We don't *want* something like the CPAN module hierarchy. I prefer to keep things as flat as practical. Namespace packages clearly have utility, but please let's not descend into java-esq package hierarchies. -- R.
