Actually, I'd like to hear about why the kernel developers were shocked about our use of capabilities.  Could you expand on that?

This is exactly what I have suggested yesterday and today. Gentoo does
this
other places, like with 3D acceleration. They provide ebuild that don't
work
until I compile my kernel to turn on certain things and edit my XF86config
file to enable features.

We'll see. I think we'll get there.

A while back some of the kernel developers were a bit shocked we were
using
capabilities this way, but that's another story! ;-)
