Oooh, Andy, you are subversive. ;-) Honestly, I'm not yet a 100% convinced that we should get rid of it. I'm well aware of its shortcomings (inevitable name clashes, mostly), but it feels like a natural fit in a system with first-class modules. Admittedly, I'm still in search of a problem the hierarchical name space could solve, but, hey, who knows? :-) I'm also slightly concerned about compatibility issues if we remove it. Thanks, Ludo'.
