Re: [PATCH] Allow update-game-score to run sgid instead of suid.

I'm OK with changing to setgid instead of setuid, yes (I don't have
a strong opinion either way on this).

As for defaulting to "neither setuid nor setgid", I'm less convinced.
After all, I'd expect that most cases where Emacs is built "by hand"
(rather than installed from a distro), the build will be done by
a non-privileged user, so it will already end up being neither
setgid/setuid.  IOW changing the default will end up catching distros by
surprise with no real upside.
