Description

## Describe the feature

Kubernetes v1.25 will add support for [user namespaces](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-node/127-user-namespaces) as an alpha feature. This will improve security through increased pod to node/pod isolation and should also help with the multi-tenancy work stream.

For now, I'm proposing doing some initial exploratory work around what it would take to use user namespaces for Knative pods.
