the private namespace is one option for vservers
it always was, we had many discussions about it ...

now that we can do this in userspace, with CLONE_NEWNS
and without some tricks in the kernel, we are adding
this feature as an option ...

I'm not sure that it is such a good idear to allow
programs in a vserver to raise their rlimits, but
once all limits are per vserver, (which will be
completed soon) it might be an option to allow it
(up to the per context limits)
