As I said below, let's not worry about this for all of the
known/current audit records, lets just think about how we solve this
for the ACID related information.

One of the bigger problems with translating namespace info (e.g. PIDs)
across ACIDs is that an ACID - by definition - has no understanding of
namespaces (both the concept as well as any given instance).

This isn't really relevant to the ACID lists, but sure.

I'm not ruling anything out, except for the "let's just completely
regenerate every record for each auditd instance".

I'm missing a solution in this thread, since you are the person
driving this effort I'm asking you to get creative and present us with
some solutions. :)
