It's a long time ago, but I seem to recall that the clinching argument
hinged around mounted directories.  Without making an a priori
decision about each one, an atomic move is not viable.  Remember that
to the OS the difference between a local and a remote object is
intentionally invisible.

And then you need to add per-user and per-process namespaces...
