Or in the "network" package that was suggested a month ago?

And why *can't* we start on repackaging old module? I think the only
reason that somebody came up with to NOT do it was "well, if we don't
repackage the whole thing, then we should repackage nothing."  Which, IMO,
is totally bogus. We'll never get anywhere operating under that principle.
