I think thats not a weakness. Look at it from to positive point of view,
it means that users like the new console.

I think it means externals. Although I do not agree that namespaces
are needed, if you want to do them right they need to have per patch
scoping. The implementation of this might be a bit difficult though.

If you don't offer the possibility of having a concept like
"using namespace xyz", then they are about the same as using
per developers prefixes ala pdp_ z_ ix_ ...
