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.
