Is the "patch" system still working?
It's been a while since I looked.

listen calls newns() internally, so changing the namespace by hand
doesn't affect it. listen can be given alternate service directories
(see listen(8)) and will now ignore zero-length files in the service
directories, so binding /dev/null onto files in /bin/service (for
example) in /cfg/$sysname/namespace can be used to alter the set of
services offered.

The patch system is still working. We're a bit behind processing the
queue but working on it.

You are right.
Better way is to create file /cfg/$sysname/namespace .
I didn't know about this option.
Thanks.
