Well, pid namespaces are marked as experimental, as are user
namespaces (and were described as "very incomplete" a few months
back). Pid namespaces are useful for process migration (which is still
under development) or virtual servers (for which user namespaces are
pretty much essential). So I'm not sure quite what you'd use pid
namespaces for yet.
