Because this is an issue involving *only* the ping executable. Ping,
being suid to root so that it can "ping" in the first place has the sole
responsibilty for granting/denying access to the features selected by
-l and -f. If -l is allowed for all users, then it's the ping program that's
at fault, not the kernel.
