If changing the current arrangement in GeoTools is just going to
create extra work for no gain then let's not do it ! I don't see any
big deal for GeoTools users and whatever package names or factory
arrangement is adopted can be explained in the docs.

Ah yes, the no-plan plan.

I'm with you on processes seeming a lot easier than coverage
operations. Jody has said the same.  I suspect they are also very much
easier for new users to learn. They just seem cleaner and more elegant
to me - or to put it another way, I can understand them whereas I
approach coverage operations with reluctance and fear.

Adding new algorithms as coverage ops and then wrapping them as
process seems like a recipe for more maintenance overhead, but perhaps
there are good reasons to do some things that way.
