Granting CAP_AUDIT_WRITE to X/dbus/...

Hello,

I was wondering now that the xserver can run as non-root shouldn't the
CAP_WRITE_AUDIT file capability be set on the Xorg executable? Same
question for AVC denials logging with dbus session bus[0]?

And in general, does anybody has an opinion about giving this
capability to $random executable?

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
