The package names have to change when a podling comes into the
incubator (to the org.apache namespace).  So, the "blow" has to happen
anyway.  I'm not suggesting we enforce this for existing podlings
necessarily, but future ones should probably do it.  Once the podling
graduates, the plugins would need to change the package name they use
because they are now based on an official ASF library.  Is
find/replace really that difficult?

*Once* is doable. We can do a lot of refactoring of old code during that anyway, clean away unused APIs, etc.

*Twice* (that is, once from com.ecyrd.jspwiki to org.apache.incubator.jspwiki; then from org.apache.incubator.jspwiki to org.apache.jspwiki) is not so nice.

Besides, us doing search-replace on other people's code and then redistributing it is very probably not ok anyway. Our own code is trivial to modify; all the external code is not.
