Ah, I understand your angel, in that your use case is to run namespaced processes that achieve some functional purpose irrespective of the underlying kernel/platform, which is totally fair.

Not for me either... that is, not in a host OS, maybe a dedicated VM; I consider this to be as it says on the tin, 0.0.1, a thing that would help bootstrap an ecosystem of containers, which would push towards Apple adding namespaces or jails (oh, hell yeah, JailKit!) to darwin.
