Re: Ping as regular user not allowed (CentOS Stream 8)

[Brian Stinson <bstinson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The change to iputils should be read in context with this change to
systemd: https://github.com/redhat-plumbers/systemd-rhel8/pull/246/files

To me this reads like the intent is to remove the capabilities on the
ping binary, while using another mechanism to allow non-root users to
still use the ping utility.
