No, it's mostly unrelated. The INSTALL files are needed in case a file has owners other than `root:root` and need the permissions. This PR can't really touch those, at least as it stands. > If so, don't we need to list each suid binary explicitly? We still need to do so. The idea is to have a lint that checks that the files have the permission expected of them; `setuid=yes` is a blanket option that wouldn't help in catching small issues that passed by accidentally.
