Given that purge is group-owned by root, I don't really see any reason
to be as strict as we were and prevent people from dropping privileges
further if they want to.

With upcoming snapshot you will no longer experience the error because
it either creates with proper mode or upgrades to new mode if there is
already a purge with the previous mode.
