Yes, the whole thing is making me grumpy (more than my default state).
The more I think about it, the more I don't like the prctl approach
either...

I more than dislike flags2... I hate it.

but no prctl, no cgroups, no bpf.. what is left?  A new policy groups
thing?  No, not that either, please.

To state the obvious, none of this is transparent.
