There can be a few legitimate uses, but they're enormously less common than folks misusing prefix/

I hadn't known that; do you know the general area I'd look to find what they are?
I'll close this, then, because our (MELPA) review standards have been consistent for a long time, and have strongly discouraged non-standard separators.

's used in a lot of packages as a separator in function names and a variety of inbuilt Emacs packages (such aspcomplete/ag
inpcmpl-x.el
andeshell/cat
inem-unix.el
) likewise make use of/
.Obviously, it shouldn't be the first separator you reach for but it seems somewhat of overkill to call out a separator which is fairly widely (standardly) used?
