Sure. And I suppose syslog and time ns could also fall under that. Issues
to discuss include:

1. what other namespaces do people expect to need?
2. justifications for the proposed namespaces, and other potential ways
to address each. I.e., for devices ns, two justifications are (1)
per-container loop devices (could be pre-allocated with containers
aware of which /dev/loopN index they may use), and (2) filtering
uevents only to appropriate containers to limit the uevent storm when
containers do udevadm trigger --action=add (not sure, but we can
brainstorm other solutions).
3. semantics for the namespace - I.e syslog namespace, how do we decide
whether/when to unshare it, is it owned by a user namespace or a pid
namespace, etc.
