I think we should rename the module too and then scan all the shipped 
module.xml files to update the module name to the new name (scanning the 
java code too would be a good idea for hardcoded module name, but I 
don't think we have any for the netty module). The org.jboss.netty 
module was already marked as "private" which means even if changing the 
module name to io.netty "breaks" applications which depend on it, it's 
reasonable to expect such applications to use the new module name or 
better yet package that library within their application.
