So one thing that I don't really get is why such a "trusted application"
needs to be run in a user namespace in the first place? If it's trusted,
why not simply run it as a privileged container (without the user
namespace) and grant it the right system-level capabilities, instead of
going to all this trouble just to punch a hole in the user namespace
isolation?
