Hey,
As it would be a pain for extensions to (at the same
time/branch)
support both:
- older MWs without namespaces, and
- newer MWs that would use namespaces.
This is only an issue is we move existing classes from the top level
namespace into something else. Using namespaces for new code does not cause
hassle for extension developers at all. Furthermore you can alias class
names since 5.3, so even if we where to move stuff, it could be done in
such a way compat is kept.
Cheers
