I like this change.  So the new modules would be:
(gwl processes) and (gwl workflows)

Could we keep (guix processes) and (guix workflows) for backwards 
compatibility?  At least for now, so we don't break existing workflows 
right away.

It's fine to rearrange things.  I mimic'd the modules for Guix's 
packages ((guix packages) and (gnu packages)).

Kind regards,
