Don't use this with a patched kernel - it has a hardcoded offset based on the stock PR1.2 kernel and changing the kernel could cause aegisctl to crash your system.

Man I really need to find some time to go back a re-read everything, so much happening in the last few months.
"Vanilla" open mode basically gives you the same type of access as INCEPTION - you just don't need incept to install privileged packages. However, like with INCEPTION, there aren't any changes in Aegis enforcement unless you make those changes yourself. While I stated in the OP that INCEPTION is required for this, it also works if you use open mode and the stock kernel.
