+8. Implementation note: user namespaces
+
+User namespaces are intended to be hierarchical. But they are currently
+only partially implemented. Each of those has ramifications for CFS.
+
+First, since user namespaces are hierarchical, the /sys/kernel/uids
+presentation is inadequate. Eventually we will likely want to use sysfs
+tagging to provide private views of /sys/kernel/uids within each user
+namespace.
+
+Second, the hierarchical nature is intended to support completely
+unprivileged use of user namespaces. So if using user groups, then
+we want the users in a user namespace to be children of the user
+who created it.
+
+That is currently unimplemented. So instead, every user in a new
+user namespace will receive 1024 shares just like any user in the
+initial user namespace. Note that at the moment creation of a new
+user namespace requires each of CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SETUID, and
+CAP_SETGID.
