Either namespace, or another independent namespace ("Drafts").
User namespace makes things harder to find; which is not necessarily appropriate. We want drafts to be communally findable - to encourage contributions, fixes, reviews, and eventual upgrades.
This has floated before, in some variation, and not flown. But perhaps it's time to float it again and see if it flies now.
Right. But doing things with aliases is not exactly out of reach.
And I'm somewhat surprised, considering it all, that there isn't even an editorial guideline on moving drafts? Not that I would feel compelled to read it, but it seems an omission.
