At my previous employer we did not use namespaces.
This was due to a installation a few years ago on SL6 which did not have name space support at that time.

I think there are valid reasons to not use namespaces:

  *   Fewer moving parts == less can potentialy fail
  *   Troubleshooting is easier due to less places to look / need no familiarity with namespaces & tools
  *   If I remember correctly setting up a namespace can get really slow when you have a lot of them on a single machine

If you have a requirement for having all networks to be routable disabling namespaces does make sense.
Since I’m currently in the design phase for such an install I’d surely like to know if it is going to be deprecated.
Thx for letting us know about this :)

Cheers,
