Is it true that you have decided not to include namespaces, and will you reconsider implementing namespaces at some later date?
Namespaces as well as nested classes were secluded from PHP 5 because they don't map well to PHP, and the gain they bring is not significant, versus the amount of complexity they add to the language. Since I don't expect this to change at a later date, I don't expect to see namespaces in PHP in the future.

Par nested klasēm vēl OK, iztiksim, taču par namespacēm man arī ir žēl, jo ieguvums no tām tomer būtu tomēr pietiekami "significant".
