Ahh, but it will, shadow needs more than just kernel, you need to change
libc, which could, potentially, affect every application on the machine,
keeping the old non-shadowed libc would leave weird access holes...

Which is the problem i suppose, so much needs to be considered in such an
update that, really, cobaly has to do it as an integrated update pkg, this
is not a doityourself project...
