The gpupdate tool does not extend the schema but rather adds "Display Specifiers" to the configuration naming context. I don't have it installed right now but I suspect it would be hard to permission that object away from a set of users. But you do need the package installed on every machine in order to make it work so that is one form of restriction. Thorbjorn from SpecOps can probably answer this better than anyone.
