I could see a case for '.' being used instead in general, but for cgroup namespaces I think we'd have to convert those back to '/'. Otherwise we'll fail in being able to run legacy software, which would get confused.
Yeah, I agree but the name is kinda misleading tho. The output isn't really a relative path but rather absolute path against the specified root. Maybe updating the function and parameter names would be helpful?
