It is planned that Tux3 will not depend on any core kernel changes.

There will be a patch for deferred namespace operations, and if the

patch is not applied, then Tux3 will use the alternative mechanism

we have discussed, which will be less efficient but functional.  So

there is no need for any flamewar: we work with or without the patch.
So I would prefer that the concept be functional, without any really

stupid oversights such as the one Hirofumi just pointed out to me,

before placing the idea within flaming distance of the usual suspects.
Regards,
Daniel
