Any downside to turning off SIP in a VM?

[Mark E Anderson]

I thought that bug was related to SIP, but it doesn't seem to be. That's what I get for skimming. 

I'm trying on 13, 14 VMs and saw the extract bug, and figured I could get around it by disabling SIP, but it looks like its codesigning. I might give it a try anyway. csrutil disable turns off a lot of stuff, and on a fresh VM with just Xcode and macports, I don't care, unlike on my actual machine where I keep SIP on for obvious reasons.  

Maybe I just need to dig up an intel mac. I might have one around here someplace.

Trace mode will work better if I turn SIP off, correct? But if I do, will things succeed that should fail? Or should I worry about that later, since they'll get tested on the build bot and CI?
