We have to remember that we live in a temporary situation. In
the future, we are going to have many hackages, and every group
of developers or companies or universities are going to have
their own. We can't have a single rule for modules that extend
beyond the most basic ones.

It's good that everyone have their own idea on classification.
That's how we can converge to good for all classification as
time passes. What would be nice is to have the proper tools
to easily reorganize that hierarchy as we wish. Today, we
don't actually have module hierarchy, we just have '.'  (dot)
accepted in module names. It would be nice if we could say to our
compiler that we wan't all modules under Control.FRP.Graphic.UI
(and also in package X or Y) to be under MyBase, e.g.,
Control.FRP.Graphic.UI.Example would became MyBase.Example with
no need for a import qualification.  That would avoid clashes
between diferent conflicting hierarchies.
