+The ``namespace`` value is useful if you are using one primary caching server
+for multiple sites that have similar code in their respective ``vendor/``
+directories. By default, Symfony will try to generate a unique namespace
+value for each application but if code is very similar between two
+applications, it is very easy to have two applications share the same
+namespace. This option also prevents Symfony from needing to re-build
+application cache on each Composer update on a newly generated namespace.
