Comment (by a_p):

 Isn't that the point of RelaxDirModeCheck to give operators the freedom to
 allow a group to access the control socket files (of all instances)?

 Allowing admins to have the folder group-read and group-writable but
 forcing a specific group makes it
 hard to authorize a single group to access the sockets of all instances if
 every instance runs under a unique user/group.
