I think this is a reasonable enough away to handle the cross-namespace 
issue.  We make the same kind of assumptions about the reference 
elsewhere in the code.  So if this ever changes in the future, this will 
just be one of many changes that'll need to be made changed.

Is there any need to update ECTP as well?
