How about: We move away existing repositories, and put the migrated ones
in the /packages/ path. If people have existing repositories, that
they'd prefer to use, they can move the migrated ones out the way, and
theirs back. But they have to opt in to this.
This means some (work done on pre-migration git packaging) history gets
temporarily "lost". But ensures that everything is the same layout. And
that any deviation was intentional, not accidental.
