At first when I saw this, I wondered if it was even necessary, thinking
that information should either be irrelevant, or available elsewhere.

Given that it could be several nested pid namespaces, it may even be
incomplete.

The most obvious one is that of vanishing fields in audit log messages
which concerns Steve Grubb.  If we fixed the ordering issue, vanishing
fields should no longer be a concern.
