Namespaces in CephFS would become useful in conjunction with limiting client authorization by sub-mount -- that way subdirectories could be assigned a layout with a particular namespace, and a client could be limited to that namespace on the OSD side and that path on the MDS side. So I guess we'd look to support them at the same time as improving the MDS authorization stuff in general -- recently the MDS capability string format was updated to be a bit more expressive but we're not enforcing most of it yet.
