I'm a little thrown on the reasoning for shuffling round the std/encoding/* modules to std/*

Seems like it would just clutter the std/* "namespace" and cause churn in dependencies?

Yeah, this is a very stupid change std/encoding/* is also actually the right place, why pollute the top level namespace with encodings ?

How's it namespace pollution? It won't cause any clashes in either std or the user's code. It's just a few directories moving slightly higher up in a directory structure (which as an aside, is even deeper than you might think, because it also includes the deno.land domain, remember).

Just un-necessary pollutes the drop-down list in auto-completes when someone is coding stuff that has nothing to do with encodings. There is a reason for categorization and this change breaks it.
