There's really just this: Interaction with user namespaces For a discussion of the interaction of capabilities and user namespaces, see user_namespaces(7). > I'll come up with a patch for both I think.

The last couple of years, as a sort of experiment, I've fallen into the same release cycle as the kernel (typically making a release in the week or so after the kernel release), and I am even using a similar numbering scheme. Ideally, the man-pages patch would go into the release that corresponds to the kernel release that makes the change.
