Yes, you explained the motive... But we can't be more organized now?
The major problem, for me, not is because we don't use 'dots' in unit
names but the names chosen itself.
For example: Lazarus has LCLProcs, LazUTF8. Why haven't added "Laz" every unit?
Lazarus.Text.Encoding is a beautiful name... but just using
LazTextEncoding, LazTextUTF8 do the same.

My problem are the names, not the 'design' them.

My 2 cents...
