You've got to be kidding.  That's not a package hierarchy proposal,
it's just one package (network).

Without a comprehensive proposal I'm against a partial reorganization:
without a destination we can't start marching.

Naming things is very contentious -- everybody has an opinion.  To
pick the right names you must see things in perspective.
