Description
At some point, Plone 7(?), we should remove the already deprecated pkg_resources on __init__.py files to switch to native namespaces:
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-namespace-packages#native-namespace-packages
As that's meant to be a coordinated effort that has to happen on a 0-day, having a script to try apply that to the plone namespace would be critical.

Research direction
Start with the issue description and the linked Python Packaging User Guide section on native namespace packages. Inspect how pkg_resources declarations appear in plone namespace init.py files and determine the repositories the script must cover. Done means a script can consistently identify and remove those declarations for the coordinated change; no specific test file is named.
