 all kernel ids with ``k``. Ranges of idmappings will be prefixed with ``r``. So
 an idmapping will be written as ``u0:k10000:r10000``.
 
-For example, the id ``u1000`` is an id in the upper idmapset or "userspace

 A kernel id is always created by an idmapping. Such idmappings are associated
 with user namespaces. Since we mainly care about how idmappings work we're not
