K8's RBAC is nice, and in particular auth-delegator really helps with odd duck integration for the enterprise. But k8s is reliant on OS features to make user namespaces happen and Redhat customers are still waiting for Redhat to backport a newer version of shadow-utils [1] [2] to RHEL 7 so that user namespacing works there.
Given enterprise certification and release cycles "Wait for RHEL 8" isn't really a good answer for those kind of customers. I'm not disagreeing with you, just saying some features of kubernetes aren't available everywhere. Personally I'd really like to see user namespaces come to RHEL 7 as it helps with removing or mitigating privileged access.
