Can using the Ember PODS structure cause any issues while integrating with the Ember engine (RFC) ?

What is the recommended structure; PODS or traditional structure ?

Hi,

According to [Erik Hanchett](http://www.programwitherik.com/ember-pods/#future "How To Setup Your Project With Ember Pods"), pods seem to been the nearest convention.

In the [RFC 2.0](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/blob/master/text/0015-the-road-to-ember-2-0.md "The Road to Ember 2.0") pod structure are cited about Routeable Components and the Naming Convention.

I’d say the impact of pods (today) on future engines is unknown. However, know that pods are also the future in Ember.
