I read Lars' comments as something like: There's still a lot of work to do, and it's not a foregone conclusion that any of this would hit mainline. Maybe I extrapolated too far. However, the kernel summit included a reasonable bit of pushback on placing this in the kernel without convincing arguments to the contrary. So I think it's reasonable to consider part of the work is still clearly defining that need. thanks, -chris -- Linux Security Modules http://lsm.immunix.org http://lsm.bkbits.net
