 Hm, think there is some misunderstanding here :) I don't have strong
 preferences to either way (see [#comment:131 comment 131]).

 The facts are that:
 1. In the current implementation (PHP) all hooks are removable.
 2. There are some comments on this ticket suggesting to make some of the
 hooks non-removable in JS.
 3. I'm against that and think all hooks should also be removable in the JS
 implementation.

 > I have to say that none of these really feel right to me.  I will keep
 thinking about it; other suggestions welcome.

 Yeah, I tend to agree. IMHO best of the four options so far is adopting
 the jQuery-style namespaces as they are the most widely used/known. If
 there is a better way, I'm all for it.
