One thing that might be useful to folks who might work on the FreeBSD
kernel side is to build up a collection of small programs that
demonstrate these syscalls and interfaces. To some extent I think we
can separate functionality from priority/limit controls.
Demonstrations for setns, unshare, and clone would be interesting.

Several of us have had an interest in this for some time, but I am not
aware of any existing significant work. We've spoken about starting a
regular call for these topics in the near future, and I'll follow up
when ready to move forward.
