Maybe a good rule of thumb is to 'police' anything that uses a shared namespace.

I guess people use a shared namespace until it goes wrong, then switch to a hierarchy.

But that's different from the real problem, you want usage rankings, reviews, advice, etc, when looking for a library to use, not just a list of names.
