Should we rename the "controllers" folder to something else now?

Hi! After working with some Phoenix 1.7 apps recently I was thinking about this…

Should we rename the “controllers” folder to something else? Like, “resources” maybe?

Now that things are collocated in the same folder and there are other things than just controllers, it kinda makes sense, no?

There’s one other thing I’d like to ask: Is there a reason why the layouts are now in the “components” folder? And… Wouldn’t make more sense if we moved it to… let’s say… “resources/layouts_html.ex” and “resources/layouts/*”?

I understand this hasn’t been done probably because of backward compatibility, but since it seems so natural to me, I’d like to as for your opinion as well. Have you thought about this yet?

I sort folders to top, so folders and files will never be truely colocated.
