I have recently began deployment of nested containers following an orderly upgrade to 5.3, when I noticed that only a root user may actually flag the features. What is the rationale for this limitation? What are the implications of setting these flags I'm not considering?

Security. A normal container should not have permissions to do all those things, as this can severely damage the host system (if a bad/untrusted user inside the container tries to hack you).
