Presumably this is about clone(2) creating a child process with separate
namespaces.  At first sight I can=E2=80=99t think of an obvious reason why =
it
wouldn=E2=80=99t work.

Anyway, that=E2=80=99s great progress already, I think GuixSD containers are
useful even without guix-daemon, for the (hopefully common) case of
stateless containers.

Cheers,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
