Thanks for reminding me, I actually meant to do it, just forgot.
Having said that, `Documentation/security/credentials.rst` is not the
best documention when it comes to capabilities. I will definitely add
few more lines in there, but it's probably not what you're looking for.

capabilities(7) is where everything is explained, I should have
mentioned it. I could try to summarize the existing sets, but honestly I
will probably do a worse job than the man page.

I do plan to update the man page though if it comes to that.
