[wildfly-dev] package name change a good idea?

[Brian Stansberry]

No. WildFly will be the upstream for a future release of EAP. When that 
happens, those classes, in the existing org.wildfly packages, will be 
used in EAP.

This is conceptually no different than cases where packages like 
org.apache appear in EAP. EAP is a product that is built from a variety 
of upstream projects. WildFly is one of those upstream projects. This 
was the case before the rename as well; the project fka JBoss AS was 
just one of the upstream projects in EAP.
