Yes, this is very definitely done on purpose. It's how one package tells switcher that it wants to be in the switcher configuration (i.e., it has a switcher module file). There's an ODA shortcut that Neil created for me that does a search on these things -- I use it to create the switcher configurator screen.

More specifically, any package can put a <switcher> block inside their <package> block (with an appropriate <tag> and <name>) and switcher will "see" that when it is building its configurator page.
OK, I have no doubt that this has a purpose. My question is: coudn't he had chosed another word than "package" for that? I mean, it would have made any difference for the ODA's shortcut?
