I'd place it in the same category as a program that runs in kernelmode, takes control of other applications, creates a /dev node, or makes fundamental and permanent changes to the security model.The stuff from SALT required changing file permissions on the filesystem, yeah that's always safe, and who knows what else ...
Could you imagine a program for Linux requiring you to change the permissions on your system files to 777?
