SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] exit_notify: kill the wrong capable(CAP_KILL) check

I don't know either why it's there. My guess is that it was not actually
thought out specifically, just a "unless capable" exception added when the
security-motivated exclusions (exec_id stuff) were added.

I can't think of any reason not to drop this check.


Thanks,
Roland
