Oddly enough, I agree with Kevin with my heart and soul. But then I hear the 
howls of outrage from the Other Side, who campaigned without ruth to get 
namespaces into PHP in the first place.

Would someone with authority (Andi? Derick?) like to give an overview of the 
pros, cons and issues at this point? It's quite difficult to follow all 
these tiny, endless myco-esque threads, and I share Greg's allergy to wikis 
for the simple reason that the model is similar. Each item sparks another.
