"This" referred to <https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/issues/4>
"pidof does not check comm field in /proc/.../stat file like sysvinit did"
which you pointed to from
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=810018#40>.
You appear to have fixed it in
<https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/commit/3f5b75035ec4151a5ffe911b0857d0419ffb5a15>
"pidof: check cmd if space in argv0".

I assume by "the namespace problem" you are referring to
<https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/commit/791cb72d32dd963a76fccc4b46facd906a4381fb>
"Revert "Support running with child namespaces""? If so, that looks
unrelated.
