I think that LXC is used by minority of users (myself included). So, enabling
USER_NS by default would put the rest of (unsuspecting) users in unnecessary
danger.

OTOH, configuring an LXC container already requires some understanding.
Compared to that, building a custom kernel is really not a major barrier.

Of course, the user namespace stuff will never become 'stable' if nobody uses
it...

Cheers,
