Hello,
PHP 5.3.0, released in June 2009, introduced namespacing, a feature we
have never used yet since we were still supporting 5.2.
Jeroen submitted
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/14181 which use
namespaces. Since that is, to my knowledge, the first patch that
introduce namespace, I am opening this thread so we discuss about
namespace introduction in MediaWiki.
PHP doc
http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.php
Thoughts?
I maintain that use of namespaces should be on a case-by-case basis. Only
used if there's a significant advantage to using namespaces for some code.
eg: A component with a huge pile of small classes for pieces of the
component.
In this case, I don't see a good reason to use a generic MW namespace.

By all means, GO for it at least in extensions. Namespaces are awesome
there since they can spare you a lot of prefixing extension classes.
Have not made my mind up about core though, there might be valid
reasons why not to use them there.
