Comment:

 Hello

 Considering the code will disappear soon (as we talked about today, when
 we make the socket creator setuid-root, it won't be needed), should I
 write a version that moves the pseudocomponent, or should I merge it like
 it is? It still should be merged (or changed), otherwise the other two
 tickets will make everything run as root for now. I don't like the idea
 with yet more granular startup, the boss should know as little about the
 components as possible.

 Thank you
