I'm skeptical that this is a good enough reason to potentially open up a
number of security holes. What you speak of is not typical use. If it's a
problem that only a few people have, add a release note about it. They can
weigh the risk vs benefit of such behavior.
The fewer SUID applications we ship, the better. Everything has security
bugs, eventually someone will find them.
