Agreed. We use an /admin namespace on several of our really large
client projects. It works quite well.

The only issue that we've really run into is with namespaces and model
names. Some weird stuff can happen (especially within tests) if you
have a namespace of Admin and a model named Admin. We've since used
Administrator to as an appropriate model name to distinguish the two.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Robby
