No, I tried to describe the problem at hand to begin with. And no, I don't see the need to delegate namespace administration as a problem at hand; we're not anywhere near such a large community yet. Thus my impression that it was more like a solution seeking a problem.
What's necessary is only a registrar for names. IDA doesn't have to provide hosting although it could be nice to offer that for interesting projects.
I don't think it is a good idea to create a playground-module namespace, because stuff that gets in there will most likely stick.
How does namespace delegation affect this? I understand that hosting will affect it, or more specifically, what gets included in the standard dists. I didn't touch that issue either.

The problem I'm solving is administration and hosting. You might not percive the convention to put all modules in a big centrally administrated and controlled repository as a problem, but I do. I don't think it is a good idea to create a playground-module namespace, because stuff that gets in there will most likely stick. Other than your second item I don't see that you are contradicting my suggestion in any way.
