"Avoid namespace numbers above 10,000. These are reserved for future use."
Can you give any detail what you meant by "future use"? Is there some WMF project in the works that will use numbers in this range, or was it maybe meant as a more nebulous "we don't really need these yet, but we might some day" thing, or something else? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！」☎ Dinoguy1000 13:38, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * We might need them someday. It's there so that developers won't interpret the advice as "pick a random number between 5000 and 9007199254740991". But rather put a more reasonable limit on it, which might get extended one day after a discussion to another reasonable limit. --Krinkle (talk) 14:43, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Aah! Fair enough; that's about what I figured. Though personally I'd be somewhat surprised if we ever actually get to that point; it seems like much fewer extensions are being written these days which add namespaces than were written in the past... 「 ディノ 奴 千？！」☎ Dinoguy1000 16:06, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
