I'm just as happy with not changing anything. But if we're going to
rename stuff, let's at least think about something slightly more
comprehensive. Any rename is going to break a bunch of stuff. But if
we break it in a way that reduces the need for future discussion or
changes, it would at least be a small win in the long run.

Sure, I'd be content with leaving those in the top-level instead of say
"etc".
