That's not what said the PEP (IOW what i had understood of) but yes the
"namespace" stuff must be shared among all namespaces implementations.
I think it is a primal requirement for integration.

And it must also be compatible with previous implementations more than every
other points like entry points or installation/environment APÏs.
