First comment at the LWN:
> […] I think calling the flags "setuid" (as lwn appears to prefer?) just blurs things, since that's the name of a syscall (setuid()), which does something related, but is not actually involved in the concept that the inode SUID flag is about.
> Hence, I am a bit confused what that comment here is supposed to achieve? It just creates confusion?
