Yes, this should get some attention from someone. There is no reason to
allow any app that wants it to have suid. Things like consolehelper exist
for just this reason.
Within Red Hat I care for a suid whitelist. If it's not on the list, I
have to be convinced that it should be. It works rather well honestly. It
would probably make sense to give this task to the Fedora Security Response
Team as it will be them cleaning up the mess after a "suid gone wild"
event.
