That seems to be a lot of work which isn't needed. If we just prefixed the tables we wouldn't need to make a list of names which are already taken, because they would never conflict

I mean this would make development much faster. Now you have to look through hundreds of extensions to check if your new table isn't going to collide with some other.
There's a page on MediaWiki.org for registering extension namespaces.[0] If this is actually a problem, you could make something similar for table names.
