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.
