As some related info, I was curious and this feature was added in 2011 with
specific security-relevant justification.
The biggest issue that I know of (that would probably solve a lot of the
issues referenced) is the ability to allow multiple groups access to the
information. If this were added, everything should be able to very easily
"just work".

Hi Matus,
The workaround for X seems reasonable (and honestly, I haven't seen any
issues with X when running in this mode).
The systemd problems are problems with systemd and need to be fixed. I
shouldn't have to disable security mechanisms because of systemd.
Note: I've also not seen any issues with DBus operations in with this
enabled but maybe I wasn't trying the right operations. Granted, I can't
manage other people's processes but that's...good, right?
