Let me clarify a little. The primary purpose of ip netns exec is to
allow programs that are not aware or more than one network namespace
to work without modification. It is not intended to be a primary
environment for applications to run in.
Which is a big part of where the don't do that then, comes from.
If you can figure out what is going on and send patches I will be happy
to accept them.
Also public conversation is appreciated so that anyone else with the
same confusions may be educated at the same time.
Eric
