Hi Bjorn- This doesn't actually mean there will be no more maps stuff in the global namespace. If we did that for the normal loader, then everyone's code would stop working. :/ If you actually want only namespaced classes, then you can request &file=googleapionly. That's not documented anywhere, however.
