[guardian-dev] Big changes coming for root apps in 4.5/5.0 ?

next major Android version that could cause some trouble for Guardian
apps that exec binaries as root from the /data/ dir:

"A recent commit to the AOSP master tree prevents the unconfined

located on the /data partition."

There are supposedly some workarounds, but I haven't looked into them yet.
