I understand where you're coming from, but (1) the changes (in directory 
structure, namespace and identifier naming) were done in response to 
reviewers' requests and not on a whim, and (2) it takes years for a 
library's review to be scheduled. We cannot afford to tell library authors 
"do please wait another three years because you made changes which were 
requested of you during the review."
