Agreed. Please note this applies to /bin, /sbin, and critical library
functions as well. Imagine how useful your system will be when I manage
to break getpw*. I haven't yet, but getgr* is in pretty sad shape on my

see what things do and don't work when you install a seriously broken
shared library.
