Sorry I didn't mean to complicate this.
I did ack the patch and we can cull the cc list for continued discussion.
In practical terms, the only thing the patch prevent is having two
separate tasks each clone a new user ns with the same uid mapping, and
having consistent relationships between the same uids between the
namespaces. It's worth it to prevent (or while we consider) the case
Andy and Eric bring up.
