You can't really hide the empty namespace, because you want all clients
to be able to list root mailboxes. But with some clients you'd want the
LIST reply to list only INBOX (which has children) and with others you'd
want it to list all mailboxes and INBOX without children. There's no way
Dovecot could know which one the client wants.

But I don't think there are any problems if you make INBOX. namespace
the hidden one. Most clients don't care about namespaces.
