We still need the device control group. Dropping cap mknod, and not having any device nodes you can mount a filesystem with device nodes, plus mount namespace work to only allow you to have access to proper device nodes should work today. And I admit the user namespace as I have it coded in my tree does make this simpler. But I agree "Now" is too soon until we have actually demonstrated something else.
