Setuid/setgid technology is an old technology belonging to the 70's.
It was pretty confortable at that time but now it's not really actual and
it's more like a pain in the system. It would be possible to replace this
with 'something' - you decide what - in kernel land with something really
secure. It's near year 2000 now. I would love to see Linux get rid of this
kind of ballast.

It would make a safer world ;)

Tell me where if I'm wrong. And if it is an issue that you are working or
planning to work on please forgive me.

Thank YOU!
