I reckon, follow biology.
There's kingdom.phyllus.class.order.family.genus.species
But in practice, that's far too clumsy. Instead, everyone just uses 
genus.species. And this works even though there are more than a million 
species.

So I reckon two levels of modules is enough. More than that is clumsy.
And, if you're not sure where something should be, because there are two 
or more equally valid alternatives, it should probably be a level closer 
to the root of the tree.
