That most of those namespaces need a special setup rather than a plain copy?

F.e. what are you going to do with NETWORK namespace? The only valid thing
to do is to prepare a new context and to configure its content (addresses,
routing tables, iptables...) later. So that, in this case it is natural
to inherit the context through clone() and to create new context
with a separate syscall.

Seems, only PID space needs to be setup at clone time. All the rest of
suggested namespaces are more convenient to change with separate syscalls.

I would suggest to combine both approaches. Those namespaces, which can be
naturally copied while clone() (f.e. the best example is already existing
CLONE_NEWNS) deserve a clone() flag. The rest are preserved through clone()
and forked and configured later.
