Hello Stanislav,

 what the hell are you talking about? We had a namespace implementation and
now we have a new one. One that for a lot of people here smells like
packages. There are no three or more different ones. None of them was ever
accepted or comitted. Actually I doubt that any of them was ever working.
And oh the original implementation did not work either. And hey it had
nestng and wasnt't bound to files.

Oh and speaking of your wiki again. Your wiki does not list any of the very
hard limitations we have in the current implementations. And another thing.
Why the hell would we want to implement packages and namespaces? Packages or
namespaces as we have them right now are clearly a subset of the both the
wiki and what people usually expect from namespaces.
