Some users still fear using the user-namespace. Yes, we've discussed this before and I'd like to simplify this. The thing that has been stopping me tackling it has been figuring out a way to ensure we don't change semantics for existing deployed users. ie when RHEL-7 rebases to newer libvirt, I don't want existing containers to suddenly change their setup, because although the existing setup is sub-optimal, some apps / users might be relying on its behaviour in ways I can't predict. I do believe I have figured out a way to allow backwards compatibility now though, so we should have able to have another stab at simplifying and removing this cruft for newly deployed containers.
