I am here and I will be here all week.

With respect to bind mounts I was mentioning a patch that someone
was actively working on a week or two ago to allow at least the read-only
flag to be specified when a bind mount is created.

For a whole new clean mount API I don't know.  I do think it would be
productive for us to get together and talk.  Weather that is at the
container session on Friday or elswhere I don't know.
