That's not at all relevant, is it? The point is we have widespread
uses of namespaces and cgroups that span containers today meaning that
a "container id" becomes a problematic concept. What we finally got to
with the audit people was an unmodifiable label which the orchestration
system can set ... can't you just use that?
