Hi,
I think
1. naming is important,
2. not breaking clients is more important, if the name is not visible to
end users, as in this case.
It depends on the number of installed clients, which would break in
either way. The number of breaking clients in turn depends on deployed
MUCs, because that's where they fail. How many DEPLOYED MUCs use
owner/roomconfig? I don't have numbers. Is my feeling correct, that the
majority of clients uses mu-conference, if they use MUC at all? If yes,
then revert to the mu-conference style.
How many and which clients have been implemented with the 1.17 change?
Interesting how many use cases a heavily used system gets: There are
reasons to configure without user interface. For example, if you want to
set the room to working conditions for your app. I know a client, which
creates instant rooms, and has a "Moderate now" menu item. This client
just sends a iq-set. Even if it would do the iq-get first, it had no
chance to know the correct namespace without asking the user.
If you want a vote, then: +1 for revert.

In version 1.17 of JEP-0045 (2004-10-04), the FORM_TYPEs for room
configuration and for user registration requests were modified. This
change was introduced late in the standards process and may not have
been advisable (that's the same day the XMPP RFCs were published,
perhaps I was distracted). I'd like to take a poll of those who have
implemented JEP-0045 (either in a server or in a client). The question
is, which of the following would you prefer:
1. Retain the change made in 1.17, which specifies the following:
room config: http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#roomconfig
registration requests: http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#register
2. Revert to the old FORM_TYPEs:
room config: http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#owner
registration requests: http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user
Feel free to reply on or off list and I will tabulate the results.
