Indeed, I wanted to put Landlock last because it was an unprivileged
programmable access-control, which could lead to side-channel attacks
against other access-controls (e.g. to infer enforced policies). This is
not valid anymore because Landlock is not using eBPF, only the BPF LSM
does that (which is not the only reason why it is the last stacked).

Not is this case, it's a "namespace" definition. :)
