Does it make sense and is there a way using the Python standard library to make rdflib.plugins a namespace package?

It seems PEP0382 was recently rejected.

I am not sure what this would bring us? Anyone?

More possible pain according to:

And as far as I can see - the extension points mechanism achieves the same thing this would have done. I.e. new plugins that are installed are available automatically.

I'm closing this. If someone has a specific reason why we need this - please reopen!
