AFAIK this is because emacs-24 now supports lexical scope. The use of
name prefixes is used to manage namespace as you mention, but also as
convention used by the byte compiler to help distinguish between uses of
lexically and dynamicly scoped variable bindings.
See the emacs-24 elisp manual for more details, or ask the friednly
folks on the on the emacs devel list.
