I am pointing out a way in which the issues are linked: they both have to deal with distinguishing languages that share a common namespace, and secondly, that a good solution to the versioning issue would also deal with the namespace issue. By pointing out the link between the two issues, I'm hoping to influence the decision on the versioning issue -- choose a versioning mechanism that would also deal with the namespace issue. So I don't think tying them together is "needless", I'm hoping that it will make a positive influence in choosing good solution(s) for versioning -- ones that address both issues. In particular, I'm hoping to avoid the deadlock where the solution to versioning is "use namespaces" and the solution to namespaces is "use versioning" and we make no progress on either issue.
