Right, what is now "hostInfoExclSocket" is a confusing category and not easy to 
explain to anyone. However it is the long standing default. If you relax the 
default then security people will complain. If you make it more strict then 
developers will complain as it makes troubleshooting harder. With the current 
proposal then nobody has to deal with this confusing named category. Instead, 
if you want reveal more exceptions then you run with the property set to 
hostInfo, a category that is much simpler to understand.
