Well, I wonder what IRIX does? They support capabilities and had a reasonable sized hand in the draft. No point in making it impossible to port apps. It's not that I'm a strong fan of Posix caps, but compatibility (even with a partially complete draft) with defacto standards is not entirely unreasonable.
