I think it will be better to keep it.

The reason we have varying levels were to group things together - mainly
Apache related providers, but also Microsoft.

And we already have a number of mappings and conventions to handle that.
For example provider I'd mapping to dirs (apache.beam -> apache/beam), and
'apache-airflow-providers-apache-beam' as package na e  and
airflow/providers/apache/beam as packages inside the distribution. Those
will remain as they are - we cannot change them without breaking
compatibility.

So if we change it to a flat structure we will have some inconsistencies -
in some cases it will be single folder in others (packages) those will be
two folders.

I think it will be more harm than good if we get rid of the 'folder'
structures - some of the code in breeze will have to treat those
differently as well. Nothing extraordinary and very complex but more
complex-ish than it should be - already on top of handling potentially
nested folders

So my preference would be to stay with apache/beam - it's just more
consistently handling the case where provider packages can be one-level
nested
