Not having to run sip as root would be an improvement in security.
There are a couple of issues though:
1. Pigpio does not support the Beagle Bone Black board that some users have. We would have to drop support for that I think. I'm not sure how many users it would affect.
2. We have been using the "board" pin numbering scheme which is guaranteed to not change across Raspi revisions. Pigpio uses Broadcom numbering and that would require checking the Pi's hardware version and adjusting pin numbering accordingly.
Would it be possible to provide the option of using pigpio or the current GPIO libraries?
