How about we put this specific point to rest by agreeing to
disagree? ;->

Err... I'm migrating netdevs to assign them to namespaces to allow them
to use them? Setup, basically. Either way a device move only happens as
result of some administrative action; be it creating a new namespace or
changing the physical/logical network setup.

Ok, different need. You have a much more basic requirement than i do.

wtf is a "remote" namespace?

A namespace that is remotely located on another machine/hardware ;->

Can you please describe your application that requires moving possibly
several network devices together with "their" routes to a different
namespace?

scaling and availability are the driving requirements.
