What is the real world implication for cpanel hosting accounts of this statement from the cpanel documentation:

Upside
If you currently use CloudLinux, this option is already installed.
Downside

That is quite old feature that was lately moved to kernel level :

http://docs.cloudlinux.com/index.html?symlink_owner_match_protection.html

http://docs.cloudlinux.com/index.html?link_traversal_protection.html

The option for mod_hostinglimits is not in use any more. We will talk to cPanel about improving their documentation.

Thanks.
