ok. 

Would it be reasonable to use such a file to expose or hide network
interfaces in an l3 network namespace ?

what would be nice now is to rebase Paul's patchset on next -mm and 
see how we interact with it and the namespaces ? I already did such a
merge a while ago but there was no connections between the features. 
We need to come to that point.

I'll try again when andrew releases and include your patch, serge.
