Silly, question, does that mean that the namespace can
be destroyed between mounts? If yes, would it mean
that it gets rebuilt on each mount or would it
be filled lazily?

It seems like it would be neat to be able to use the
schedulers from the unify translator without a
namespace to get the ability to do load balancing on
across AFRed backend servers. I know that AFR load
balancing is on the roadmap, but since the schedulers
offer a nice variety of algorithms, I was wondering if
using the unify translators wouldn't already work (or
be close to working) without actually doing
unification?
