I think sending out these patches for review sounds great.

For merge order I think enabling the unshare/clone flags to anyone
but developers should be about the last thing we do.

Starting with clone/unshare sounds to me like hitching up the cart
before it is built.

I really need to focus on finishing up the pid namespace, so except
for a little review and conversation I'm not going to help much on the
network side.

Of course I need to mess with unix domain sockets to properly
implement the pid namespace.  Because of the pid credential passing.
