You're missing the point. The problem is not "how can we bypass system
protections?", the problem is "how can we achieve what we want without
having to bypass anything?". These things are restricted to root
precisely because they can screw up the system, and that's not a power
we want to give to random Win32 apps. What we need is a mechanism that
is safe enough to be enabled by default on all systems, without
requiring suid root or similar hacks.
