No, it's about the daemon dropping priviledges for most of the code where they are not necessary. I didn't want to merge it as is, but it is quite important, so I have pulled it into its own "dropsu" branch for people who want the extra security which comes from lowering the probability of having undiscovered exploitable bugs in priviledged code. I should really keep the dropsu branch up to date with the latest changes in the master branch, to make it easier for people to use it if they need it, until I implement something similar to the master branch myself.
