[quote="firesurfer, post:2, topic:3718, full:true"] Why not use DDS partions for namespaces instead of restricting the topic names? [/quote] I think you might be confusing these two things. We want to ban `__` regardless of how we implement it in DDS (we're still using partitions right now), but instead to allow us to unambiguously differentiate a relative topic which starts with `__` and some of our special tokens like `__ns` and `__node`. --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/requesting-comments-on-forbidding-consecutive-underscores-in-topic-names/3718/5) or reply to this email to respond.
