Now let me ask you this Laurent. Your programs performing privilege
gain without bit s executables: Did you tie them into the init system?
Did you tie them into (not allow them to be called from, but tie them
into) lots of other executables? Does the system break if someone
replaces your execuables with (almost) equivalents?

Didn't think so, and that's the whole point.
