Parent article: Namespaces in operation, part 6: more on user namespaces

> However, most filesystems can not be mounted with just user namespace permissions.

Are there any plans to change this? If not, is there a reason for that?

It would be nice if an ordinary user could create a user and mount namespaces and then e.g. mount an ext4 fs from a block device that they own.
