First, module moving isn't a priority. Alan thought it would be good to group related packages into an umbrella namespace. This might initially apply to add-ons, like zc.zlibstoprage, appendonly, or relstorage. Second, it would be useful for packages that we want to break off or change in backward-incompatible ways, like persistent, ZEO, or even BTrees. In the later case, we might, for example, create a new version that dropped some of the legacy features. I wouldn't want to be hasty about moving anything.
