I see this as a failure of what a HN described elsewhere of securing the OS against a user and not apps as well. Ideally all apps would be security principals and appear in ACLs. Then say each file created couldn't be deleted by another app unless it was present in the file ACL. I believe APPX packages on Windows now do this, a new user is created for them.

this is what linux package managers do. the package itself doesn't handle deleting files at all, because the package manager, which tracks the files created at install time takes care of it.
