Oops, I forgot that was there!
Sorry.
Yup, I'm fine with leaving that out. After all, nothing in the non-debugging patchset allows userspace to clone the utsnamespace yet, so it's tough to argue that leaving out that switch impacts functionality :)
I believe Dave is working on a more acceptable sysctl adaptation, though I'm not sure when he'll have a patch to submit. In any case, one clear concise piece at a time.
