Looking at the config in the kernel srpm, the user namespace isn't supported even in Rawhide yet (3.9.0-rc1).

I suspect it will have to wait until 3.10 when XFS stops turning off user namespaces.

I was actually planning on building my own kernel RPM with user namespaces this weekend. I don't use XFS anywhere, so I'm fine with the tradeoff.
