Several daemons drop privilege, you stop them restoring the state and thus
expose a new exciting hole. Just copy the 2.2 fix - stop the ldisc open, that
enforces what you need.

I've done that for 2.0.38-ow4, which also includes some ELF loader
fixes for issues (DoS) found by Pavel Kankovsky, and a few more.
