Lately, I've gotten the impression that people are rejecting the use of namespace packages altogether. There's an incorrect notion that namespace packages are an invention of setuptools. I think this is unfortunate.
Indeed, it's unfortunate. It took me some time to discover that (presumably) the original idea was first formulated in https://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope3-dev/2002-December/004251.html I'd be curious to know whether there is an even earlier (public) discussion of namespace packages.
