Description
Has there been any thought given to namespacing packages, i.e. listed under an organisation or user. For example `servant/client` and `servant/server` rather than everything living in a global namespace?
No idea about
1. engineering effort or community pay off
2. if it has been discussed/dismissed before but couldn't immediately find anything here or in cabal repo
3. if this is more a cabal issue
but it could be helpful with
1. grouping similar packages together under some sort of organisation
2. stopping package names being taken by experimental and never updated 0.0.01 releases
3. could/would make forking packages simpler rather than having to take ownership or giving the fork a different name.
