What are some other alternatives?

We could use some sysvipc mechanism - just have the container share
the ipcns with the monitor.

We could create a directory (default /container, specifiable in
the container config) where such communication files will be
mounted.  Let the per-distro templates set up the location and
the distro-userspace to work together.

Others?
