But seriously, why?
[[Namespaces]], as any programmer can tell you, are a convenient and novel way to separate different kinds of data - to give indentify a kind of context for the data therin.
On WP, the general principle has been to keep the main free of metadata. Meta stuff traditionally belongs in the Wikipedia: namespace. I suggest the idea because using a separate project namespace might be a way to feature projects to emphasise the idea of getting used to joining and working within certain projects .
With WP growth the need for specialised meta namespaces seems a bit obvious to me - but thats one basic argument. As other wikis have done, maybe you might want to ask why those who have have already done so?
