   Mr Van Rossum has spoken against it many times.

   Now I think - if we don't want a separate Python's top-level namespace
may be we should think about a separate top-level non-Python's (3rd
parties') namespace? With it we could have database.sqlite (Python's
sqlite) and user.database.sqlite (a newer version); and by doing import
database.sqlite you know exactly what version you are importing.
