 Replying to [comment:1 Tim Graham]:
 > I think the issue is that `app_name` isn't supported in `ROOT_URLCONF`.
 I'm not sure if it makes sense to support that.

 That's right, `app_name` is only supported in included urlconfs.

 URL namespaces are designed to prevent naming conflicts between included
 urlconfs, and to allow the deployment of more than one instance of a
 specific urlconf. Adding a namespace to the root urlconf only has the
 cosmetic effect that you need to prepend ''every'' viewname with that
 namespace when reversing, it does not help with naming conflicts or
 multiple deployments. I don't think it makes sense to support this.

 I'm closing this as invalid as it is certainly not a bug.
