One piece of the puzzle is that we should be able to allow unprivileged
device node creation and access for any device on any filesystem
for which it unprivileged access is safe.
Which devices are "safe" is policy for all interesting and useful cases,
as are file permissions, security tags, chroot considerations and the
like.

It's a complete non starter.
