 pros:

 - 'fixes' SIP, suid, caps
 - fixes static binaries

 cons:

 - kind of a pain to implement
 - DNS would require actual parsing, which is apparently a hard problem
 even for 'minimal' implementations:

 dhcp.html. I think an initial hybrid implementation could punt on this,
 and it would still fix the ugly hack of hardcoding SIP paths.
