I'm going to skip the discussion thread (or is it a flame war? cannot tell from
the thread pattern), but here are my votes:
+0 on dropping the requirement for subpackages in 2.X (this will break tools,
but probably not break much code, and fixing the tools should be
straightforward)
(+1 on dropping it in 3.X)
-1 on dropping the requirement for packages in 2.X
(-0 on dropping it in 3.X)
+0 on making this change in 2.5
