A software package is that beautiful box you go to the supermarket and buy the product.

No. You mentioned not only once that namespace are better for users to understand than packages. Seems you are the only one until now that still want to keep "namespace". But I already have a solution to it.... I already mentioned on IRC. Instead of namespace or package, you can go to something like zendspace or stanspace That's my final 2 cents. I hope I do not have to come back and write another message here. It's up to you to decide which you think is best for PHP. I am not a good C programmer and I can't really purpose a patch to something better. I only have my ideas that I can try to talk to you. ALA I put myself on a month to study the PHP's source, I can't help in development.
