Are we talking about the same reorganization?

Yes, but I meant to say "packet" rather than "plugins".

  This sounds like it has
more to do with the proposal to make dissectors pluggable.

The question of whether to put the dissectors in subdirectories of a "packet" directory, rather than in "packet" itself, relates to making more dissectors pluggable, given that there are cases where one dissector has to be linked with another one.
