Well, that would be a possibility but I don't think it would buy us muc.

More precisely:
a) I kinda like the idea to keep the sources in a directory named src/
but maybe it's only the force of habit.
b) we still would have to perform most of the code changes needed by the
reorganisation I suggested (I'm talking about the code changes: from
metadataserver.models import NodeKey' → 'from maas.metadataserver.models
import NodeKey).
c) we still would have to rename src/maas (now maas/maas) into otherwise
we would end up with the WSGI application at an awkward place.
