OK, then I don't know what problem you're trying to solve. It sounds like a lot of disruption to a package ecosystem which already works perfectly well. The WordPress use case does not need to declare a hierarchy of modules; it needs to create a single boundary around an arbitrary set of code, which might or might not happen to be a fully-populated vendor directory.
