Can you elaborate what is silly about it? The reversing, or the DNS, or both?

A package called com.example.foo would be package foo in the namespace "example", which is under the namespace "com", which is how a lot of languages do namespace nesting.

DNS can be said to be "reversed" from that point of view.

It's all part of Java's effort to make everything as complicated as possible and put everything in as many namespaces as possible.

Why? Because you don't like it?
