I have a question:  What is stopping you from using them right now
today?  Most of what you write is for private use, no?  If so you can
use namespaces until your hearts content.  You could even make scripts
to change Magritte and co to switch to the namespaces when loaded into
your image, so that you don't have to type the prefixes anymore.

Why do you need this to be in the default image to use it for private code?
