Root only today, maybe, but this thread is talking about future
directions. Don't lock your design into a coarse-grained security model.
We can add a new capability bit but there are certain operations that
need privs especially if multiple users are involved. binding outputs
to crtcs being one.
Again I can see little reason that this wouldn't be possible going
forward. But i'm seeing policy decisions we currently make in the X
server needing to be made somewhere.
