I have had zero problems but it's also near-zero effort to decide a
prefix, document it and obey it. And yes, it's for avoiding name
conflicts: so that user's configuration won't harm future Emacs
functionality, nor the other way around.
But it's just a suggestion. I'm not going to have a month long
discussion about this. So just ignore it. :-)
