"magic" in a sense that I have no idea how k8s "services" and "pods" map
to kernel namespaces.

thanks for the link.
That library is much better written than libcap.
capability_linux.go is reading cap_last_cap dynamically and it can understand
proposed CAP_BPF, CAP_TRACING without need o be recompiled (unlike libcap).
So passing new caps to k8s should be trivial. The library won't know
their names, but passing by number looks to be already supported.
I'm still not sure which part of k8s setup clears the caps and
why this v2 set doesn't work, but that doesn't matter any more.
I believe I addressed this compat issue in v3 set.
Could you please give a try just repeating your previous commands?
