Today, there was a question in the IRC channel how you can avoid clutter in your elements folder. Well, the answer is obvious: use folders (but I know, sometimes you are just blind and you don’t see the obvious solution *g*). You can create as many folders in your elements folder as you like. When rendering the element you just have to add the folder name as shown in the example below:

$this->renderElement('myfolder/myelement');
