also, heard about the desire of having a device namespace instead with
support for translation ("sda" -> "sdf"). If anyone see immediate use for
this please let me know.

That sounds like a really bad idea to me.  We've spent ages training
users that the actual sd<x> name of their device doesn't matter and they
should use UUIDs or WWNs instead ... why should they now care inside
containers?

True, bad example on my part. The use case I had in mind when I wrote that
can be solved by symbolic links.
