i'm with fernando on this. we are not looking for broad acceptance, though it would be nice. it would be great if this showed us a config-time option for the kernel, but i think its unlikely. more likely than caps being turned on by default, though.
Wouldn't it, just maybe, be acceptable to the kernel people if capabilities could be turned on by some parameter on the kernel command line (e.g. capabilities=on)?
This would make capabilities disabled by default, but gives a way to enable them that does not require a kernel patch and rebuild...
