See, that's precisely why I think the reorg is worth it: 'maas' is the
Django project and nothing should go in there.  That's indeed the
problem this reorg wants to tackle: we have no single 'maas' python
module where to put things.

I suggest doing things the other way around: reorg the structure and
then see if we can also rename the 2 existing Django applications using
South.
