Dan's point was that they would want to have the same number of package segments in all the interceptor definitions. I don't think that they will ever achieve this, as they might pull in a third-party interceptor, or define their own, which isn't in a place with the same number of package segments.

Arguably, it's not the number of package segments that matters, it's the entire prefix (for readability).
