Houston Putman commented on SOLR-15917:
---------------------------------------

I'm not really sure we 100% need to have 1 name for both things, because they 
are inherently different. When I ask myself what a contrib, or a 3rd party 
add-on like yasa, is, I do not think "Oh it's a solr package". They are 
modules, or plugins.

The Solr package manager manages packages, that contain plugins/modules. I'd 
honestly be +1 to renaming the package manager to the plugin/module manager if 
having two names would be confusing.

Also having {{solr/packages}} and {{solr/packaging}} would be pretty confusing 
IMO.

> Rename 'contrib' as 'module'

> Spinoff from SOLR-15914. The term 'module' communicates better that these are 
> optional modules you can bring in if you want.
