The main goal of the patch was to provide ability to get another process
umask. It looks like usefulness of this is not questioned here.
well that's exactly what I AM questioning.. how often will this be used?
one person using this once in all of history isn't a real requirement

It seems to me that someone is more likely to figure out a sneaky way
to use this in a bad way than to want to use it in the way you expect.
