Unfortunately just the new api is not enough. Developers still need to actually use it. When I researched seccomp and got really excited about it, I submitted a patch to memcached to enable a restrictive policy. The patch/pr is still there, months later. If the project doesn't care, no amazing tool is going to help us :-(
