Yes, I thought about this, but there's no easy way to set the flag for
the initial namespace, and a second flag CLONE_NEW_NS_NOUSERMNT would
be needed to turn off the flag.

That again would lose some flexibility: only namespaces which
are part of a container could be manipulated.  Does that exclude the
initial namespace?

Also how would a process find out which vserver it is running in?
