This was my line of thought as well, since the audience of
admin-guide/ is sysadmins and users. Namespaces are mostly relevant to
module authors and kernel developers. Currently, I don't think there
is an existing good place in Documentation/ for this topic :-/
I suppose kernel-hacking/ might be the closest fit, as Adam suggested.
I didn't see this thread before responding in the first, naturally...
I think the core-api manual is probably as good a place as any for this.
Changing the name to something like symbol-namespaces.rst is probably a
good idea, since most people think of other things when they see
"namespaces". Or perhaps that mythical Somebody could expand it into a
proper description of symbol exports in general...:)
As I said in the other thread, I am happy for it to be moved to a better
location. core-api/ as well as kernel-hacking/ seem to be good
locations.
I could imagine expanding the documentation, but would not like to
commit to it right now. (Even though I feel very encouraged by your talk
in Paris, Jon. Thanks for that!)
Cheers,
