I'm not sure he is suggesting that they be part of a sympy namespace
package, just that their github repositories can be hosted under the
sympy github organization. After pushing for scikits, I think umbrella
namespace packages (distinct from organization-owned namespace
packages like enthought) are more trouble than they're worth, whether
implemented with setuptools or pkgutils.
