This is what I've be fearing. First slated for 5.0. Then 5.3. Now 6.0. It appears
there's consensus to rip it out which, in my prior post, I was all for if people felt it
meant getting it right. Apparently that is the case. I guess my main question is what
keeps this from being pushed yet again once 6.0 drops? From the community standpoint we
keep hearing "its coming, its coming" but here we are still waiting. Again,
I'm fine with the decision but I think others share similar concerns and will want to
hear a commitment (dare I say promise) to adding namespaces to 6.0.

Major changes like ripping the feature that most people are looking forward to
in 5.3 out?
I'd really like to see namespace in 5.3. After reading most of the
threads I'm still not real sure what the *real* problem is with the
current implementation. It's down to stuff with constants and functions.
IMO namespaces are very much an OO thing, meaning constants and
functions should be in classes anyway. There's only a problem if you
want there to be a problem. Foo::Bar::baz() is in class Bar in namespace
Foo. Foo::Bar::BAZ is a constant in class Bar in namespace Foo.
