i wonder if we should just remove the section on --create-namespace and the section about how the namespace must exist now?

@markphelps Yeah I battled with this. I am for it, just was curious how many people are version upgrade averse.

<Note>
In [v1.28.0](https://github.com/flipt-io/flipt/releases/tag/v1.28.0), we introduced some breaking changes to `import`.

You no longer have to use the `--namespace` or `--create-namespace` flags to import resources into a specific namespace.

The namespaces are now inferred from the YAML documents themselves. If a namespace your document refers to does not exist in the database, it will be created.

</Note>

This command supports the `--drop` flag that will drop all data in your
Flipt database tables before importing. This is to ensure that no data
collisions occur during the import.

<Note>
In [v1.28.0](https://github.com/flipt-io/flipt/releases/tag/v1.28.0), we have extended this functionality to support exporting state from multiple namespaces to a single YAML file.

The `--namespace` flag is now deprecated.

The `--namespaces` flag will accept a comma-delimited list of namespaces from which you would like to export from.

The `--all-namespaces flag is a boolean flag that tells export to export all namespaces to the single file you specify, or to standard out by default.
