The LCDproc module implements a network protocol for clients to communicate with the LCDproc server. This is something I do not see other modules in the Device::* namespace do. The objection I have to the Device::Module::LCDproc namespace is practicality; that is, LCDproc itself has nested classes, and a programmer working with a four-level deep name space may get irritated. I'd like to make it easier for them. I notice that in the hardware related modules here is an AudioCD::Mac; with that naming scheme, LCD::LCDproc would seem to follow. May I suggest that as a comprimise? It's two levels deep, and it falls in the Hardware category.
