Jay is pretty much right. In Neutron's case it is even more trivial. Somebody copied the extension manager from Nova, and a sort of extension interface with this namespace. And every neutron developer, including me felt compelled to filling that up with something that resembled an XML namespace URI (which often resolve to nowhere anyway).
I think a patch for blanking out those namespace is a great low hanging fruit for new contributors. But on the other hand I'm pretty sure Kevin is wiping them out as a part of the Pecan refactor.
