yes is true that i like to have strong opinions and yes i could be
wrong in most of them
but when all the comunity screems at the namespace issue i think
core developers should be more diplomatic and offer the good solution not
close the eyes and wash the hands and go forward

an semisolution would be an php.ini variable
like
NAMSPACE_SEPARATOR="::"
so if you have an issue with your classes can be reset to "\" or
whatever with ini_set

i think it's easy to be done if i look at the patch  that created the
backslash separator issue
