Yes, there is a redundancy because the substring 'commons' is in the AID/GID twice; but that is OK I claim. Why? The GID is the TLP ID, so of course we have o.a.commons, that's a must. The AID is the component, which I always call Commons Foo, and sometimes Apache Commons Foo when I want to make it clear to folks (at work for example) that I am talking about software hosted at Apache. If I were to talk within Apache about Foo, I bet some folks would not know what Foo is or where it lives. If I say 'Commons Foo' then it's obvious (I hope). That is how I justify to myself the commons in the AID. FWIW: Over at Log4j, we have "log4j-" as the prefix for all module names, and no one seems to mind.
