...

I'm not sure I agree -- as I mentioned in my other mail, re-opening
through /proc/self/fd/$n works *very* well and has for a long time (in
fact, both LXC and runc depend on this working).

I thought it was marginally broken because it is followed as a symlink?
On, for example, NetBSD /proc/<n>/fd/<n> is a real reference to the
filesystem inode and can be used to link the file back into the filesystem
if all the directory entries have been removed.
