The link states that all the directories should be owned by root, not
the files.  Then if httpd is compromised, only the http owned files
are compromised, not the whole directory. (notice they are talking
about /, /usr/bin, etc... things that arch HAS set as owned by root)

The link states that apache's httpd process will drop to the User set
in configuration to serve hits.

To my understanding we're just making an http user for httpd to drop to.

But no, it's cool.  Stay trolling.  I'm totally more convinced of your
point every time you reply.
