There are some objections on Meta-Wiki, but I don't think they hold weight.
Some people think that other organization schemes might be better (categories +
subcategories, subpages, etc.). But that seems like a personal preference kind
of thing, so the person doing the work on this generally would be the one to
decide how best to do it. At least in some ways.

Namespaces exist as high-level content separation. For the most part, they're
not exposed or even noticeable. In the few places where they are exposed, it
would be nice to be able to scale better (drop-down menus and forms with
checkboxes can become cumbersome). But the overall impact is low and for the
most part they simply exist as folders (directories) on a wiki that can easily
be ignored. I don't think this is really a policy issue, but we can leave the
keyword for now.

Sarah: if you want this namespace, someone will need to submit a changeset to
Gerrit and it'll then have to be reviewed, merged, and deployed. The amount of
time to actually add the namespace is a few minutes. It's the paperwork that
can take a long time. ;-)
