 Sorry, I did not have time to write a summary yet. Hopefully, I will get 
 more time this week and will give some update.
 
 I guess, the larger point was that some applications (e.g., nginx and 
 others) already use this feature because FreeBSD implements it. 
 Otherwise, they would compile a much more restricted version -- that was 
 the reason why it could be really beneficial.
