The original package patch was rejected on the grounds that it covered
too much of the same territory as schemas.  Now that we actually have
schema support (mostly) in there, I wouldn't object to considering
whether some subset of package functionality still makes sense to add
in.  Whether that'll actually happen for 7.3 is anyone's guess; there's
been no sign of any discussion or work about it.
