| Actually that doesn't seem to work either.  Even though

Yes. Given that NAMESPACES depends on EMBEDDED, NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL
can simply depend on NAMESPACES and EXPERIMENTAL with a default of N.

BTW, does the position of 'config NAMESPACES' in init/Kconfig file
matter ?  If it is dependent on EMBEDDED, should it not come later
in the file, after 'config EMBEDDED' ?
