Not really (well, true, some sort though). It is still controlled by root
or capability, right?  I.e. still controlled by admin of system.

I read user namespaces last time, it doesn't allow to mount the block
device by namespace's root.

FUSE is allowed to mount by true user (I.e. admin can't disallow it)? I
still didn't check it fully.
