Yeah, the Kconfig entry for NAMESPACES is... misleading. It seems it
should depend on CONFIG_EXPERT, but if you have one of the _NS options
set in the config it gets flipped on regardless. It's either that or
the weird "default !EXPERT" causing it to be enabled even when the
CONFIG_EXPERT option is not set.

Anyway, still seems to me that systemd/rtkit-daemon should be _checking_
to see if that feature is present instead of assuming it is and failing
in weird ways when it isn't.
