If so, then this change introduces the possibility for normal users to
send privileged commands to connector based subsystems, even if they
may not be able to bind() to suitable sockets to receive any replies.

Am I missing something?
Yup, connector is very async at that place, but I wonder why the hell I
ever made that decision. I believe we can replace it with pure sync call
of the registered connector callback, since netlink is synchronous and
no one has any problem with it.
