I totally agree with the idea of
folders. I hope this is something in the hopper for future.

Subject: Re: Object Package Names
We are actually looking at this problem now, folders would
be a really welcome addition to object packages (that is to say, a hierarchical
organization for object packages).
Our present plan is to expose a web interface for
un/archiving object packages on demand (we already have such an interface for
transferring object packages to our DAM).
My other thought was to treat global object packages like a
communal fridge -- periodically (2x year?) turning all global object packages
(with some exception) non-global, and letting people bug my department when
they need it (or use the web interface) to turn object packages back on.
