Fair enough. And you point about this becoming a bigger problem if schema keeps growing is a sensible one. We either end up namespacing by adding words into names and maintain the flat schema, or we do something to structure it and break what we said before. In the former case, we start relying on tools to help out more… which puts an onus on us to help them out more…
