This might be a silly question already answered in a previous thread,
but why make it filecaps a USE-enable capability at all ?
It's not like libcap is a big dependency and it's not like this is an
attempt to make the system more secure by according just the privileges
needed for apps to work as intended, right ?
If the USE flag must stay, how is it different that current caps USE
flag ? It applies and not just enables support but is that relevant to
the purpose at hand ?
