You lost me there. The ability of a specific piece of code to voluntarily
relinquish privileges can be a big benefit to security. It enables
privilege-separated software architectures, which are a powerful way to
reduce risk. That's the motivation for the disablenetwork proposal that
has stimulated all this discussion. I hope this is obvious? Does it
need elaboration?
