Konstantin's v5 no.

  I am uncomfortable with unnecessary flexibility.  I don't want to
  encourage the increased usage of pids to identify namespaces.  I saw
  no arguments in favor of pids to identify namespaces from Konstantin.

Your v4 updated to reflect Andrew Morton's concerns in the changelog
yes.
