Exactly. Please add at least the NSTYPE_NSPROXY or whatever, that will
pin all namespaces of a given pid from the very beginning.

This one is done in the patch, no?

Although the approach is OK for me, there's one design issue, that came

stop? I currently don't see this ability, but this is something I require
badly.
