If we ever need namespace for mongodb extension, it should be mongodb (choose capitalization to your liking), not php\mongodb - php\ should be things that are really php core or specifically deal with aspects of php as a language - tokenizer, syntax, etc. And having different NS for extensions in core vs. PECL makes no sense to me either - especially given that for any user of distros this distinction is completely immaterial. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
