Are those options for wait2 in common use, causing auto-elevation for many programs? It seems too easily accessed to be an NSA backdoor.

We seem to have forgotten that the NSA is not the only or even necessarily the most interesting entity looking to privilege-escalate and/or steal data. Corporations and individuals are malicious also.
