Hi all,

Primary pushback thus far has not been on the functionality per se but on the directive name itself. The currently-suggested equivalent alternatives are:


```
strict_namespace=1            (RFC as-is)
legacy_name_fallback=0        (R. Tommins)
global_fallback=0             (T. Düsterhus)
disable_root_ns_fallback=1    (A. Rock)
```

Of those, I'd be OK with `global_fallback=0` (though I do still prefer `strict_namespace=1`).

Are there any further suggestions or objections on this point?
