--- Comment #7 from Phil Pennock <pdp@???> ---
I strongly suspect: lots of configured integrations which do things like talk
to RDBMSystems or LDAP using credentials from files only accessible to root
(and not accessible to the runtime user used for delivery, where more
compromises happen).

Not good. But probably shouldn't be done as the regular runtime user either,
and would break many configurations too.

Perhaps something worth making an Exim 5.00 jump for, as breaking backwards
compat? Could clean out various other deprecated options at that time too.
