No. There won't be the same package (or even same major versions of a package) in different directories (at least in my proposal). All packages that currently exist will stay where they are now as long as they don't bumb the major version number. Even if there will only be new minor version releases for the next ten years. > Then you can smootly switch to the > new situation.

The new structure applies only to packages with an X+1.0 version compared to today.
