My (latest version of the) proposal was *not* to eliminate a generic tools
package, but to merely fold the directory trees together.  There would then
be a org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.* package to replace the excised and
ill-named org.apache.velocity.tools.tools.* package.

True, this deployment scheme (which sounds great) can (and, barring strenous
objection, will) be implemented with either the current three-tree structure
or the single-tree structure i propose.  Given this assurance, would you
agree that the single-tree structure is more efficient and easier to
maintain (esp. when traversing file paths)?
