    [$] PostgreSQL considers seccomp() filters
    A discussion on the pgsql-hackers mailing
    list     at the end of August is another reminder that the suitability of
    seccomp()
    filters is likely more narrow than was hoped. Applying filters to
    the PostgreSQL database is difficult for a number of reasons and the
    benefit for the project and its users is not entirely clear. The
    discussion highlights the tradeoffs inherent in adding system-call
    filtering to a complex software suite; it may help crystallize the thinking
    of other projects that are also
    looking at supporting seccomp() filters.
