Re: [RFC] Amendments to Attributes

It seems that the RFC was updated to use the Attributes namespace. I think this is a bad idea since we're reserving a generic namespace that we haven't even "soft" reserved. Also, the loss of fallback to global namespace is a turning point for me. Generally, I think we should instead do something like Rowan said: use namespaced classes only for implementations (e.g. \Attribute but \PHP\Deprecated).
