Take a look at this URL and tell me which one PHP does look like:
http://kaistizen.net/Project/CSharpJava/csharp_java.htm#NamespaceVsPackage
Neither, actually. But it's not about "should we imitate C# or Java". It's about what's best for PHP. My opinion is that for PHP would be best to have namespaces and not packages.
From Portuguese Brazilian Wikipedia: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package
Translated to you....
In English, it says:
A software package is a bundle of one or several files that either are necessary for the execution of a computer program, or add features for a program already installed on the computer or network of computers.
All you told until now in favor of namespaces are marketing related.
Just read your previous messages.
OK, let's see - what is "marketing"? If it's "a set of efforts aimed at promoting better understanding and wider usage of PHP language" than I don't see how it can be bad and how it is not important to consider.
If it's "an evil conspiracy of suit-wearing aliens to subvert PHP community to serve their evil alien purposes" then I know nothing about it but it definitely doesn't have anything to do with what I do.
