They could also provide a standard option so that you can pick between

1.      All binaries ignore LD_*
2.      All libraries on LD_* paths must be root or bin owned (id <100 etc)
3.      Existing behaviour.

So you can lock down tight if you want. LD_LIBRARY path is great for development
but not always for other things.
