WHAT THE $PROFANITY WERE YOU THINKING??? 
 
Ok, now to the question at hand. (head still shaking though) 
 
I would expect some non-root processes to want to read config files in /etc, or
at least to be able to search /etc.  Nothing really comes to mind though, maybe
uname, oracle (though /etc/oratab is now supposed to be elsewhere, which would
get around this) wtmp wtmpx are now in /var too - /etc/lp and /etc/mail could be
problematic (lpsched runs non-root here /etc/mail is owned/writeable by bin, not
root)  
 
If you try it, expect problems. I wouldn't do it lightly.
