Is this something noticeable or just hypothetic?

I don't think src is good fit there, it's good for libraries, but I
don't think it makes sense for us. Also we've spent quite some time to
educate people to block access to the libraries folder, so I'd stick
with that.

I was thinking about namespace unification as well, so this certainly
makes sense.

How about just registering namespace on the libraries folder (eg.
PhpMyAdmin\Core)?
