In the release after next, 0.4.0, we will change the namespace of the package from 'qiskit.providers.aqt' to 'qiskit_aqt_provider'. This is being done for 2 reasons. The first is to make it clear what is developed as part of the core qiskit project, and things on top of it. The second is that python namespace packaging is quite error prone and a frequent cause of user issues. So having the aqt provider package own its own namespace should make it much more reliable to install and use. (see Qiskit/qiskit#559 for more details). While the first reason may change over time as the priorities and objective of the Qiskit project evolve, the second will always remain true. So even if the first goes away this will be a one way permanent change.

is that python namespace packaging is quite error prone and a frequent
cause of user issues. So having the aqt provider package own its own
