That depends on what you think "the new namespace feature" is. If you 
don't want to use topic namespaces, then you don't have to. There's a 
default namespace that will not be shown (similar to default branch or 
empty topic).

On the other hand, if you want to forever use "branch:topic" format that 
was never intended to be usable (e.g. hg up "branch:topic" doesn't 
necessarily do what you expect), then you can use old versions of evolve 
and topic.

It's `hg version -v` and no, 10.1.0 definitely didn't have any topic 
namespaces. The new "branch//namespace/topic" format at the moment is 
only used in current default branch of evolve, which is not yet 
released, but will be a part of the upcoming release candidate (i.e. rc 
of 11.0.0). Also 10.1.0 is nowhere near "the current evolve version", 
it's from 2+ years ago, topic namespaces were still only in the plans.

But the old "branch:topic" format was used in certain places like `hg 
branches`, where it shouldn't be. This will likely change in the future, 
since the UI part of topic namespaces feature is still being worked on.
