This is a very good idea. Other people have posted about what they've
removed the suid bit from, but not with such detailed information. 

How about turning this into a script for convenience? It could go through
all of the suid programs, display the relevant info from your document,
and ask how the modes should be set. Much faster and easier than manually
going through all of the files and typing the necessary chflags and chmod
commands by hand.
