I'm speaking only from the SELinux discussion that was had on this list,
where people wanted to try and define restrictive policies for Samba,
and some crazy ideas were proposed as regards how to transition between
the different zones (one per user).  

The point is that any zone with 'make me root again' as a privilege, is
a pretty special zone.
