I am not sure that you know the real reason :-)

Exactly. And this is also the reason why we use "suse" prefix/namespace.
Sometimes we have a feature ready and released in our product before we try to
upstream it. And what we want to prevent is a potential conflict in the table
names.
Additionally it happens in the past, that some of our feature did not make it
upstream (reject, no response anymore or requested to much changes we were
unable to do). What would now happen, if somebody else start a new feature and
choose the same table name we already use in our product?
=> A nightmare :-) So we use the "suse" prefix and such things cannot happen.

In case of ActionChaining and other features I think it is doable, if we know
that it will be merged upstream. If this is still unclear or we get a reject,
we need to keep the "suse" prefix.
