Renaming all the existing functions (and which ones? everything in PECL?) to PHP\Legacy\foo and then aliasing them back again would just be adding effort for everybody. If we really got to the stage where every single function in core had a non-legacy replacement outside the root namespace, we could just have a setting that "turned off" the versions in the root namespace. But frankly I can't imagine that ever happening; it's pretty much the same effort as "let's throw out the language and start again".
