I tend to think that two related modules probably make a good
'package', so they can be found together even with alphabetically
distant names. <br>
<br>
Definately, single modules with their own package name should be done
away with. <br>

extend these packages, such as CCK, Views, E-Commerce, Organic Groups

guideline, four or more modules that depend on each other (or all on a
single module) make a good candidate for a package. Fewer probably do
not."</font></p>

<p><font size="3">I am actively working on a very large site and
adding (occasionally deleting) modules several times a week. Sometimes
they are very hard to find because of all those misused "package"
designations. Please, please, please, if your module does not meet the
guidelines, remove that line from your .info files so that the module
ends up in "Other," where it belongs. And please don't tell me about
the various module page organization modules that the site owner
doesn't want added.</font></p>
