I don't know whether it is a good thing, but I guess most stunnel users would appreciate it

I don't want to support alternative SETUIDs and SETGIDs.  I need to have a good case made as to why we should do so.

maybe if you are running eg bind with DNS over TLS as "named", it would be handy to run the tunnel as "named" so everything concerning bind runs as the same user? I know, it does not really matter because they are distinct processes, but ethically you can say it's much cleaner.
