I agree that there are many important things to work on within nix,
but discussion on how it's organized should always be considered
because as more projects get added it's only going to get more
difficult.  I come with the experience of someone new looking at the
tree and having no idea where to put new packages.  To me it feels
necessary to gain a handle on package organization before I can
incorporate my own.
