Hasn't it always been this way?

I admit that I kind of wish this worked the other way -- that is, I
think it would be nice to have a mode in which ptrace runs before
seccomp, which would close the ptrace hole (where ptrace can do things
that seccomp would disallow) and maybe have more comprehensible
results.
