Agreed. Although clones brother unshare takes process creation out of the
picture, but otherwise preserves the same interface.

If we need additional arguments besides create the thing. We have a clear
argument that clone is completely the wrong interface.

However. So far I have not seen an instance where using the existing
standard configuration mechanisms from inside the namespace is not the
proper way to set things up. The only thing I know that needs to happen from
outside is to pass the container a network interface. And if it is a physical
interface that is all that must happen.
