If we start talking about isaexec, we should also talk about pfexec. I would 
like to see the code moved into the kernel. Other possible ways of getting rid 
of a userspace implementation for the pfexec features would be to implement 
something like capabilities that may replace 
suid(0) to setppriv(cap-list from filesystem).
