Could you explain what you mean by that?  

Are you talking about the recent "PID Namespaces" work
in the mainline? (bottom of this page:)
http://lwn.net/Articles/258703/

Is this something that is much heavier (I realize it
is potentially more featureful) than the vserver
technique?  Now that the mainline has this support,
would it not make sense, is it possible to use it even
for the vserver project?
