Then explicitly prevent the cases which cannot work in the clone()
calls.  Yes, giving people rope to shoot themselves is a Unix tradition
but it's so unnecessary in this case and will only cause support
problems for innocent people.

I bet the result will be that if you have a separate PID namespace you
need to enforce every other namespace as well.  There are simply too
many dependencies.
