Since there's a lot of forking going on (I've had recently to validate
3 different forks of congomongo, for example), should forks change
their namespace, or just the jar name?

Relying on a single name (i.e. namespace) is suboptimal to resolve this issue.

I think .NET's namespace convention are much more sensible, but relies
on Assembly's metadata to avoid jar/dll hell and forgery.

Ideally the namespace could be whatever you want, and we could think
towards OSGI (or any similar in JVM space) to export proper full name,
version and perhaps in the future even signing the jar.
