It's because of the way namespace packages __init__.py files are handled.
Until PEP 382 or 402 lands (which won't help Python 2 at all), you have
package collisions for namespace __init__.py files. Each Python packaging
regime has its own way of handling this and you don't want conflicting regimes
or you're just asking for trouble. Thus all packages which share a namespace
must use the same Python helper.
I updated the wiki.
