I wonder if this could also eventually be used to make bindfs unnecessary. We use that rather extensively for the mounting of directories owned by e.g. a vhost user into the chroot of various sftp users.

bindfs looks amazing. Why on earth doesn't Docker / Moby / containerd / runc support that for -v bind mounts, to solve some of the horrifying pain of id mapping in containers?

It is a FUSE fs, you can't get good performance out of it :-(
