Yes I thought of that after posting this (that initrd can mount the
hierarchies), so this should not be an issue in practice ..

If we loose directories, then we don't have a way to manage the
task-group it represents thr' the filesystem interface, so I consider
that bad. As we agree, this will not be an issue if initrd
mounts the ns hierarchy atleast at bootup.
