I think it is the first time I disagree with you, Phil, I'm sorry for
that. I think going back to accepted standards instead of having our own
way is good. People and quality assurance teams often build lots of
scripts to check source trees, so having a directories tree that is
similar to trees from other project adds value and remove some burden to
users.

We already did the move for [math], due to some maven plugin (I don't
remember which one). It was an easy move and nobody complained. I agree
the users base is smaller than for other commons components, though.
