Please pretty please I'd much prefer to group files by feature, not by 
technology! http://www.javapractices.com/topic/TopicAction.do?Id=205 and

articulates that well I think.

I think this so-called "packaging-by-feature" grouping should be a 
long-term goal of Yanel, as IMHO it helps maintainability a lot.
