Have you tried using CLONE_NEWNS in Linux? I did. It's a joke.
You need to have CAP_SYS_ADMIN. And you need to hack back Constants what has since have been missing from headers. You need to allocate your stack. Backwards! It's not even funny as a joke to claim that works. It is certeainly not easier than swiping out a new window.

No. This sounds like: why do much of useless work?

To not lose plan9 benefits, we better will grow (or porting) many of useful
and non-existent now software.

Linux already has many good things, like a namespaces, sysfs and normal procfs
(comparing to bsd). May be in the feature it will eliminate ioctl() and other
ugly syscalls and introduce /dev/ttyctl + /dev/tty instead of this. But when
will this happen? We have it all now in plan9.
