Sorry if I was not clear enough. I understood that existing users will change
only their dependency. I meant that new users will get instructions to add a
dependency to org.eclipse.zenoh... but will have to import io.zenoh.* classes.
That, in my opinion, would be weird.

The process I used was [1]. It specifies that "you must choose a groupId for a
domain that you own, or for which you are the designated maintainer on behalf
of the owner".
I'm not owning zenoh.eclipse.org sub domain, and I can't create the TXT record
in Eclipse DNS as advised. I can obviously be designated as maintainer (I guess
being a committer is equivalent), but as I was wondering if their is an
official procedure already used by all Eclipse projects that are hosted on
Maven Central.
