Why? This would keep the software and the interface simple and more consistent. Look at the links to namespaces at the bottom of pages. Sometimes there is none, sometimes one, sometimes two. Why is that? And why on earth is the link to a discussion page called a namespace? And why is there no Talk page for SpecialPages?
I think constancy is not the solution, it's the problem.
I agree with this--different pages (or classes of pages) have different functions and we need those functions really clearly indicated.
