I mean that if some distro has turned on the RT scheduling ulimit by default and now finds themselves with a local DoS for unpriviliged users as a result, then either that distro should just make their init scripts set the throttle and break the API themselves, or they should start a watchdog at a higher priority than unprivileged user can set.
