I know.

I'm still a bit uneasy, particularly about the basic privileges for IPC
-- the more likely a facility is to be used deep in some library some
time in the future, the more likely it is that providing a basic
privilege for it might lead to breakage.

The problem isn't existing libraries -- it's future changes to existing
libraries.  I'd hate to be unable to change some library to use IPC
because some application that depends on that library drops basic IPC
privs.

Could we have an alarm privset?  Use of any privileges in it would cause
an audit event/alarm of some sort?
