More applications will be getting confinement, on an individual level I
don't think it will be everything from debs. In this case its because it
uses unprivileged user namespaces. Which is now being restricted and
treated as a semi-privileged because it gives access to several
privileged kernel interfaces. Those privilege kernel interfaces should
be in theory safe, but the reality is that they aren't. Unprivileged
user namespaces are the first step in almost every kernel exploit chain
for the last 7 or so years.

In pwn2own last year 4 of the 5 exploits used unprivileged user
namespaces. This year all 4 did, however if you turn the restriction on
(present in 23.10 but not enabled by default) everyone one of the
exploits are blocked. The current step is far from perfect, but we are
working on improving it.
