I assume the issue isn't where the signature is stored (e.g. appended,
xattr), but of calculating the hash.  Where is the discussion taking
place?   Are there any summaries of what has been discussed?

FYI, IMA isn't limited to measuring files.  Support was added for
buffer measurements (e.g kexec boot command line, certificates) and
measuring kernel critical data (e.g. SELinux in memory policy & state,
device mapper).

thanks,
