+
+  The previous disruptive changes to uwsgi for security have been remediated
+  through creation of a dedicated uwsgi user/group and utilizing the
+  uwsgi feature to set socket ownership. The uwsgi daemon by default now
+  has the following properties:
+
+  * Process runs as uwsgi user and group (UID/GID 165)
+  * Socket mode is 660, still protecting unauthorized access from "other"
+  * Socket ownership is www:www, restoring compatibility
