It isn't really a move per se. A regular package can be copied into
a module.  If the package is then orphaned/retired, it ceases to be
a regular package but stays part of a module.

The goal, IIUC (and I'm not at sure that I do), is to for each module to be
able to have its own lifecycle, seperate from the lifecycle of the
distribution.
