The package system is designed to separate the way that modules are referenced from the way that they are installed. Whether the module `realm/chapter10/source' is part of the core, installed by the user as a package, or included as an pre-installed package in a distribution, a reference to the module within a program is always `(require realm/chapter10/source)'. A reference to the module of the form "look in the 'collects' directory's 'realm' subdirectory", however, would be broken by the directory-structure change, and we'd have to do extra work to manage that (such as keeping a note in the core or special-cased distributions to point to the new path). _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
