Having watched this thread intently for the past few weeks, we seem to be simply tripping over the semantics of it all, right?

people would even look at it if it was only in patch form - it's very

This means an keyword more for such little reason and much confusion for
users ("all other stuff uses namespaces - why do they use packages?")
that's no option at all.

Of course that's important independent of anything else.
