We would want to change the owner write permission bit for all executables. In
F-12 we took care of the major directories, this is phase 2 of the same
project where we take a bigger step. Phase 1 was proving that the missing
write permission on directories won't mess up system updates. Phase 2 would do
the same to files.
so one of the next steps might also be to allow some filesystems to be read-only?
Can be done manually of course but most of the time I am too lazy to do that.
