Responsible-Changed-Why: 
Grab ownership of this PR.  This appears to be a case of out-of-sync
documentation: mac_seeotheruids was changed to exempt the root user
in change mac_seeotheruids.c:1.7, associated with PR 72238, which
observed that while restricting the root user is technically
feasible, it doesn't match common administrative models where
restricting inter-user interactions is desirable.  I.e., the root
user now remains privileged with respect to this security model.
