Hi internals, The question of namespaces in the stdlib has been coming up a lot recently, so I'd like to present my own stab at resolving this question:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaces_in_bundled_extensions Relative to a number of previous (declined) proposals, the main difference is that I do not propose a top-level "PHP\" vendor namespace, and instead recommend the use of "ExtName\", in line with existing practice for extensions. I believe this addresses the primary concern with previous proposals. Regards, Nikita
