not in all cases. for some of the stackforage project there was not alternative namespace at the time that made sense
i.e. they could not move to openstack as they were not an offial delviery

to make one off namespace for things liek devstack plugins that only existed for devoplment/testing
that why https://opendev.org/x/networking-ovs-dpdk and https://opendev.org/x/devstack-plugin-libvirt-qemu
are in the x namespace. they were not allowed ot move to the openstack one.
The x/ namespace was set up as a default fallback when maintainers didn't respond to OpenDev's request to choose a new namespace at the time when unofficial repos were being kicked out of the openstack/ namespace. Having a clear project namespace chosen by the people maintaining it is preferable, and new namespaces are created implicitly at repository creation time with no additional cost to those of us managing the systems. -- Jeremy Stanley
