You have to blame the designers of the language back in the 60ties of last century.
it was even an ANSI Standart then.
And it is backward compatible and the code of the 60ties still can run unchanged!

Fully agree:
Package was used for the chapter of OEX from day zero!.
Instead of semantic discussions, it would be much more important to take care of 
quality and completeness and easy-to-evaluate examples for the community.
Every member of the community is a customer. To my understanding this is major
point of being different do other code exchange and discussion platforms.
I have checked almost all packages (except the commercials) and most contributors 
seem to share this understanding. Though I have to admit that there are also less
service-minded contributors that just don care about issues and PRs.
A community of white sheep only is an illusion.
I've seen too much to have such dreams 

You are correct module.xml indicates IPM/ZPM usage and that's OK.
But "Packages" is much wider since it also includes those parts that do not contain installable code or data to load but (if well prepared) a bunch of additional information like (hopefully) user guides, installation guides, description of the purpose of the packages, as well as screenshots, examples, ..... 
All this is not part of the IPM module. for good reasons.
I would feel "module" as a downgrade of the excellent work the contributors provided to the community.

Hi @Julius Kavay 
Sorry to see you leaving. Though I understand your concerns.
I will miss your high-quality contributions that are based on a long and successful experience!
Let's stay in contact

I would have been surprised if you knew ZZQ
It's my personal customized COS command for DO $SYSTEM.SQL.Shell()
But I'm also aware you are selling and pushing PY.  OK
And I use happily COS and its predecessor for 45 years which made ISC big
And I dislike black painting its values.

@Guillaume Rongier 
your terminal example is just poor , (sorry!)  pauvre
I do it his way, easy to read and easy to follow, (your notation)

this might do it:

Class User.Scott 
{
ClassMethod Clean(infile, outfile) As %Status
{
  set in=##class(%Stream.FileCharacter).%New()
  do in.LinkToFile(infile)
  set out=##class(%Stream.FileCharacter).%New()
  set out.Filename=outfile
  do in.Rewind()
  while 'in.AtEnd {
    set line=in.ReadLine()
    set last=($e(line,*)="|")
    if last set sc=out.WriteLine(line)
    else  set sc=out.Write(line)
  }
  do in.%Close()
  set sc=out.%Save()
  quit sc
}
}

THX for pointing

it still exists:

ClassMethod Build(f As %Integer)
{
 s a="#" f i=F:-1:1 w ?i,a,! s a=a_"##"
}

Just forget my contribution.
I'm not interested in digging for secrets!
I leave that to Indiana Jones    
my code is deleted ! it's not my type of fun

Hmm!
Where did you see the enclosing quotes? 
they are invisible in my browser.
