RE: [PATCH v5 0/3] implement OA2_CRED_INHERIT flag for openat2()

So I want a way to give *an entire container* access to a directory.
Classic UNIX DAC is just *wrong* for this use case.  Maybe idmaps
could learn a way to squash multiple ids down to one.  Or maybe
something like my silly credential-capturing mount proposal could
work.  But the status quo is not actually amazing IMO.
Isn't that what gids are for :-)
