Later POSIX drops chroot() completely, so we can feel free of bound of 
the strong legitimacy. 

We already have many counterexamples (mainly related to issetugid()). 
F.e. we disable user locale files - disable functionality. IMHO 
stopping thinking the way that chroot() is fully equivalent to the 
root hierarchy will be good starting point here.
