I wouldn't disagree, but you can barely see the spots in the dirt where the barn was before the horse left. Viz the pile of junk at the apex of any domain of any organization of any size. If performance or token collisions were a practical problem, surely someone would have noticed by now. In any event, per Shumon's message there are plenty of administrative reasons to encourage people to put their tokens at _name without reference to how much stuff there is or isn't at the apex.
