David,
Most people don't know wtf you are referring to by "package", but
nearly everyone knows the concept of namespaces. Packages is name for
an implementation of namespaces, calling it packages just because
language XYZ that I like, does not sound like the best of ideas.

While PHP implementation of namespaces is may not be 100% of what
people consider to be namespaces it is close enough and I think the
name "namespaces" is most appropriate and clear cut. We don't call
PHP objects "Zend Objects" or some other strange name, I don't see
why namespaces should be any different IMHO.
If we start calling things what they are, then we might as well do it
for the *namespaces* as well ? So ccall them package. And Stanislav,
it's not only because java does it that way, it's because python also
does, and also because c++ doesn't.
After all, why discussing the color of the bikeshed when it's already
painted and it's a dogshed ?

Oh dear. I thought the general feeling was to stick with namespaces?

Hi,
I think we reached the consensus to rename namespaces to packages
as our
implementation is more package-like. Therefore I wrote the
corresponding
patch which tries to get rid of all "namespaces" and "ns" (well,
not all
"ns" only the namespace-related ones of course) used in the code.
Additionally I changed all package-tests. Any objections?
Does anybody (with the move-on-CVS-server powers) care about the
history
of the tests? Then please cp ZendEngine2/tests/ns_* to pkg_*
there else
I'll do a simple cvs rm and cvs add.
The patch is at
http://schlueters.de/~johannes/php/zend_namespace_to_package.diff
and
the tarball with the changed tests at
http://schlueters.de/~johannes/php/zend_package_tests.tar.bz2
