The test is do we break anyone, and the initial network namespace
is arbitrary enough I don't think anyone can depend upon a specific
value when creating a new network namespace.  So if someone is willing
to do the work we can fix this.

Of course the fixes would have to made against a recent kernel not
something as ancient as 2.6.24.
