+1. I think an additional sentence pointing out that that's the
traditional behavior would outline that this is perhaps what's needed,
maybe with a specific EPERM reference.

It's tempting to also propose switching it to the even-more-strict 0
at some point, perhaps considering a procctl(2) if we really find some
scenarios where it's absolutely necessary... we'll leave that battle
to a different day, though.
