Would it be possible to make the kernel readable by a special group
(i.e. "kernel-readers"), which Ubuntu-distros could have installed by
default?

In this case it would suffice to make users member of this group, if
they want to use tools that need kernel read access.

Or would that somehow violate the Ubuntu maintainers sense of safety,
too?
