This was before my time, but IMO there should have been stronger guidance against this. It's not just about namespacing, I think it's more confusing for authors when functions are just added to the global scope like this, as there's nothing tying related parts of an API together. I guess this ship has sailed now, but I'll open a design principles issue so we can avoid it in the future.
