It just seems to me to be a bad way to maintain an orderly repository.

Any thoughts?

Well, it seems better in some ways that uploading them to "real" namespaces and confusing newbies who might look at them. I think the "MYNAME" prefix will hopefully discourage people from using them.

I don't know why people bother uploading this stuff in the first place, especially Leo Charre, but I think I'd rather see it under LEOCHARRE::Test than Test::RandomJunk.

Of course, I'd really rather people put some thought into building coherent APIs and naming, but that's obviously not going to happen for many uploads ;)
