Scrubbing the Nova PTG agenda (hence added [ptg] subject tag), and this
is currently on it.

>> 1- introduce privsep
>> 2- change rootwrap calls into generic privsep functions
>> 3- start refactoring calling code so that generic privsep functions can
>> be replaced by narrow, context-aware functions

Based on the discussion in this thread, it sounds to me like nobody
disagrees about what should be done; it's going to be a matter of
getting mikal's series (2 above, [A] below) finished up and then finding
one or more bodies to throw at the next step (3 above).

Can I ask someone (perhaps Mr. Booth?) to file a blueprint to track this?

Is there any part of 3 that we expect to be able to start/finish in Train?

And other than that, is there anything further to discuss, or can we
strike this from the PTG agenda?
