No, I agree with you.

Brings up a question. Is the list of all syscalls used by everybody
large relative to any one distro+platform-specific list?
Because if not, I could geet behand having *one* list and just
whitelisting syscalls until we stop needing to.
46 to 55. If just 9 syscalls are the difference, the very slightly
reduced assurance starts to look like a reasonable trade to make the
whole problem go away.
Which, mind you, I wouldn't say if I didn't think we had done a
quite effective job of hardening the rest of the code. But I *do*
think that - which makes this worth consideration.
