But it can be harm.  Not to pick on traits, but to take it as an
example.  Have they helped?  Andreas at least doesn't think so, and we
still haven't seen conclusive evidence that they are going to help as
implemented.  If they turn out to be a bad idea how are they going to
get ripped out again?

And that's something that isn't even getting used that much.  The
namespaces will probably be used very quickly.  I'm surprised there
are no packages that depend on them already.
