I don't think that's an argument for not registering packages-that-aren't-quite-packages-yet.  Instead, it's an argument to enhance PackageLoader so that if filters the list to hide PTAQPY's by default.

What?!

I don't think this would be helpful. One of the motivations for 
releasing 3.4 was to make SqueakMap available to newbies. If we start 
adding packages that aren't really packages, it could make the whole SM 
experience confusing.

On the other hand, people that will be contributing to the MCP or KCP 
are probably on this list, or at least read the swiki, and already know 
how to get in touch with the appropriate Stewards.
