Well, it might make the structure more pleasant to browse either from
the command line or from some kind of web interface. Other than that
it is just a matter of aesthetics or taste I guess. Is there important
downsides? I guess URLs get a bit longer, but the hierarchy is fixed
depth, so it is not so bad.
About /packages/[a-z] vs /packages, probably it is not so
important. But I think 20 team members (we have 13 now, in the current
chaos :-) and 100 packages is not out of the question. It would be
nicer not to do another reorg very soon.
