Better support for namespaces, for one. |

If this is actually going to actually break something, by all means |
| 9 |
speak up. Otherwise this really comes across as the whole |
| 10 |
I-DONT-LIKE-CHANGE argument. I get it. By all means don't make your |
| 11 |
/etc/mtab a symlink, and if down the road something doesn't work as a |
| 12 |
result feel free to fork it unless you can convince somebody else to |
| 13 |
make it work. So far the only concrete issues that have been raised |
| 14 |
seem minor - pertaining to NFS and PAM (both having solutions |
| 15 |
available). |

If this causes trouble for the FreeBSD folks I'm interested in what |
| 18 |
kinds of compromises can be reached. I think a challenge is that |
| 19 |
Linux and FreeBSD seem to be very slowly diverging - for software that |
| 20 |
lives near the kernel/userspace boundary that could make things |
| 21 |
interesting. There doesn't seem to be much desire to limit Linux |
| 22 |
distros to purely POSIX behavior. |
