The more I think about it the more I suspect 8/8 is the wrong way to go.
The report is that adding the capability calls in kernel/sys.c which I
moved into execve broke apache. As the change was about removing
inconsistencies I expect I should just start with the revert and keep
the difference between the two code paths.
My gut feel is that both the capable and the magic exception of a user
are wrong. If I am wrong people can report a bug and the code can get
fixed.
But definitely a bug fix branch is the wrong place to be expanding what
is allowed without it clearly being a bug.
