Should primes.jl be moved into its own package?

[ararslan]

This follows a comment from @kmsquire, #16349 (comment). According to @pabloferz, none of the functions defined in primes.jl are used elsewhere in Base, so it would be a pretty clean separation.

Should we go through with this and make a Primes.jl (or whatever) package?

I'm in favor. I just created a JuliaMathematics organization a few days ago anticipating this kind of thing (and possible migrations of existing packages out of JuliaLang to ease the CI queue as Tim brought up on julia-dev), let me know if you'd like an invite.

[ararslan]

Oooooh, yes please! :D

That's a great idea for a separate organization. Combinatorics.jl could also live there. (Though perhaps we could shorten Mathematics to Math, akin to JuliaStats?)

I'd like an invite if it is not too much to ask. Also, I think JuliaMath would be nicer.

I like JuliaMath better as well and it matches how other orgs are named better.

If juliamath gets enough attention this is maybe the best solution. I also volunteer

PS: An obvious logo would be the julia set, with z^3 to get the analogy to the three dots:

@mschauer The GitHub reaction emojis don't do my feelings for that logo justice! I love it!

@tkelman It seems like there's a lot of support for branching Primes.jl out. Want to start a Roadmap.jl in the JuliaMath organization and we can start discussing which repos we want to steal adopt from JuliaLang et al.?
