With Apple's resources you'd hope it wouldn't take them a dozen years...

Like installing a shell through MacPorts or similar and setting that as your login shell? Won't such shells have limited permissions because they haven't been ratified officially?

SIP has become the new "repair permissions"? :)
It would probably help if there were an "easily" accessible way to "reboot without SIP", either from the running session or through a keychord when booting up. Or, better, both.
This would allow people to test if SIP is involved and still fall back into its safe arms at the next reboot.
OTOH, I get the impression that we're discussing a context here that's likely encountered only by people who survived just fine without SIP until now. Presumably they'll also be able to make educated choices regarding enabling or disabling SIP.
