I do have some sympathy with your views on this. Package identifiers don't have to live in a hierarchy or include origin/owner. That they do in so many systems indicates people find this information useful. I do disagree that owner changes frequently - for the vast majority of packages that's not the case. Personally I find knowing the owner sometimes useful, and quite like the use of urls in go imports as it also lets me look up the source. I've never found it a huge problem (and I have moved packages from one place to another a few times).
