You can still add the name manually (there is software out there that
adds symlinks to /ver/run/netns), so nope, that's not a solution.

Generally, the only special names that could be used would be those
containing a letter not allowed in file name, i.e. \0 or '/'. Neither
of those sounds thrilling. I'm afraid the only working solution is a
new option.
