There are two reasons why I think amqp-libraries@ is strictly superior
to proton@.

Firstly, while you may consider "proton" as a distinct stream of work,
I'm not sure how that works with something like the messaging API
which fits in with your "quadrant" of APIs, but is clearly not part of
Proton as we know it today.

Secondly, as I previously stated, I think that for a new user
searching for information on AMQP libraries, the obvious list to look
for would be "amqp-libraries".  The name proton is pretty meaningless
unless you already know it. (There is also perhaps some general value
for us in having the association between "qpid", "amqp" and "library"
become more obvious to search engines).

In any case I'm not sure that "stream of work" is the right way to
define mailing lists for the user community. Stream of work is a
concept that is meaningful to us, the committers, but a user will be
looking for functionality - which is a more natural definition of a
mailing list. The way that we choose to divide and sub-divide our work
would seem subject to change, what is part of the current "Proton"
stream may not always be so in the future.
