Lol. We actually do patch review around here?
My only suggestion would be removal of the worthless comment and
replacing it by something better such as "change perms to root & root
user group on all systems" or something, as the current comment is
nothing more than a restatement than the code below it. With that
said:

Now Xavier just needs to signoff and pull this in his tree and we'll
have a really well reviewed patch.
