That would be absolutely lovely for many other reasons as well, and we should
also
add a tool to tools/ to edit/expand/shrink those ELF notes on existing systems.
I.e. make it really easy to augment security policies on an existing distro,
using
any filesystem (not just ACL capable ones) and using the binary only. Linux
binaries could carry capabilities information, etc. etc.
