I don't think it will win us any friends, but I think we should really 
consider if we're willing to do this. A big feature of the platform for 
me is intuitive discovery, and while having it listed in the platform is 
certainly a big pointer, clear naming also makes a big difference.

I'd still like to see the platform consider whether or not we can say 
"overruled" to the original author. Might not win me any friends, but it 
seems Network.URI is more expressive than Text.URI, and thus deserves 
that library name more.
