I am thinking of the situation where you might want to users in a 
certain role allowed to play games and others not, on a shared
machine.  A more interesting example would be to disallow sysadm from 
running games, mozilla ...

Basically a user accidently runs mozilla or a game while newroled to 
sysadm.  Might be nice to have that error out.
Ordinarily a transition happens but still It would be nice to prevent this.
