Given the existence of shared subtrees allowing/denying this at the mount namespace level is silly and wrong. If we need more than just the filesystem permission checks can we make it a mount flag settable with mount and remount that allows non-privileged users the ability to create mount points under it in directories they have full read/write access to. I don't like the use of clone flags for this purpose but in this case the shared subtress are a much more fundamental reasons for not doing this at the namespace level.
