Thanks for the clarifications! I'll get this into the execve tree once
the merge window is over. (I usually wait for -rc2 to be released.)
(Or maybe this should go via linux-doc? I should add this file to the
EXEC entry in MAINTAINERS...)
How did you happen across this mismatch(?weakness?) in the docs?
