Nah I want to keep these namespaces separate. I can see why you'd
want to do that but it could be confusing too, some may want to
say, prefix the map entry name with the board name (or a board
wildcard like "mop500*" or nifty things like that so they see "OK these
entries are for all boards, these are for this specific variant..." etc.
