Ok you don't want, but some other people (not only me) want it! And
having one
daemon per netns does not scale: there are scenarii with thousand netns
which
are dynamically created and deleted.

An example of the scaling problem using quagga (old but still seems to be a relevant data point):

"2k VRFs that would be 2.6G"

And that does not include the overhead of each namespace -- roughly 200kB/namespace on one kernel I checked (v3.10). So that's a ballpark of 3G of memory.
