PEP 755: Implicit namespace policy for PyPI

Your motivation section is missing some crucial details, and is outright misleading in my opinion.

• Typeshed is a community effort to maintain type stubs for various packages. The stub packages they maintain mirror the package name they target and are prefixed by types-. For example, the package requests has a stub that users would depend on called types-requests.

The issue with this is the convention currently is postfix with -stubs, not prefix with types, this basically inverts whether or not this idea makes sense.

This is not true and here is a maintainer explicitly saying that this feature would decrease the chances that users are exposed to malicious packages.
