In this talk we give a brief overview of the successful migration to the new namespace. Practically all EOS instances at CERN are currently on QuarkDB, the new namespace is officially *boring technology*, and *MGM boot time* a distant memory.

We will also discuss future plans and ideas to further improve scalability and performance of the namespace in particular with respect to locking, planned end-of-support for in-memory legacy namespace, and all miscellaneous namespace-related news..
