Actually the CONFIG_NET_NS is depending on CONFIG_NET and !CONFIG_SYSFS
In order to disable CONFIG_SYSFS, I must specify CONFIG_EMBEDDED to have
the choice to unset the sysfs.
Why don't we make CONFIG_NET_NS depends on CONFIG_NET and
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED ?

AFAIK the SYSFS_DEPRECATED hides the sysfs functionality (files)
that is not recommended to use, but doesn't disable the sysfs
filesystem as is. On the other hand the NET_NS doesn't require
any deprecated sysfs files, it just can't work at all with the
SYSFS turned on.
That's why the things look like this.
Thanks,

Exactly. Once we get the sysfs support merged this restriction will go away
but until then attempting to register a two copies of the loopback device
with sysfs is fatal.
