The biggest reason for the lxcpath feature is the introduction of user
namespaces.

Once every user will be able to just run lxc containers, you don't want
them to have to check what container names the others are using to avoid
clashing with them.

It'd have been confusing to restrict system containers but not user
containers, so the change works for all of them.
I expect most people won't have identically named containers running as
the same user from two different paths, but if they do, it'll still work.
