Hmm, my largest objection had been that the nsproxy as a container
structure would end up pointing to nsproxy as a namespace proxy.

But if we do as Eric suggests and have one subsystem per namespace type,
rather than one subsystem for all namespaces, I guess that is no longer
a problem.

That still leaves yours.
