Homebrew installing outside system directories hasn't protected it in the past and the directory/root lockdown isn't the only change, remember the tun/tap CF that got dropped in their lap? The 10.9 to 10.10 transition broke a lot of things and more than a few were caused by the security changes. Do not trust homebrew to work properly on 10.11 until they can find & stomp on all the bugs Apple has graciously handed them, it's not a safe bet at all and more than a few network apps (for example) do need root at some points.
