[TYPO3-core] Class namespaces with 6.0

[Tobias Liebig]

Hej,

I had the same issue how to name things a while ago while working on TYPO3.Surf.
I choosed 'TYPO3CMS' for v4/6 as 'TYPO3' was already taken for 'Phoenix' distributions. Although I didnt like 'TYPO3CMS' for v4/6 installation. And i really do not like the decision to takeaway 'TYPO3' for the so called Phoenix.
however i guess this is a general naming and marketing issue as TYPO3 is our vendorname, brand and productname at the same time. There was already some discussion about te productnames in the community, but currently nobody seems to care, although its a really big issue and tough challange!

Beside of that: Namespace-Suggestions.
I clearly see 'TYPO3' as our vendorname.
So what about 
\TYPO3\CMS\
\TYPO3\TYPO3\
\TYPO3\Legacy\
?

I'm really curious about your decision at the end of the day and looking forward to the discussions afterwards. Prepare to change the name once again ;-)

  tobias

P.S.: i already send this mail on saturday to Oli, but was unable to post it in public from my mobile phone.
I'm really curious about your decision!
