All size increase is a step backward for folks who already have a working kernel. There are today more than a million cellphones running Linux where the number one priority is reducing footprint. PID namespaces are quite low on their wishlist. So as long as the feature is non-optional, you've got a fairly heavy burden to make it as small as possible. Especially as this is just the first part of several namespace pieces. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
