Thanks.

That is a good question, and I guess it comes down to another question of if 
anyone would want to use seccomp without NO_NEW_PRIVS.  If the answer is no 
then I'm comfortable adding it into the seccomp_load() function; however, if 
the answer is yes we might want to do something different.

I haven't given much thought to this yet, so if you or anyone else feels 
strongly about the issue - either pro or con - I'd appreciate hearing the 
argument.
