This is what court packing has always meant until just recently.
Packed, stacked, scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, topped, diced, peppered and capped. What you call it doesn't matter. The intent is to change the political ideology of the court to favor your own political party. That's is exactly what the Republicans have done under McConnell since the Obama administration.
Show me the separate histories of packing vs. stacking the courts.
