Fine, I'll work on this.

Definitely not.

Christian is definitely very responsive and quick to queue things up,
and that can have drawbacks.   In this he made it clear that he wants
to get this queued ASAP regardless of whether there's decision on the
SELinux side or not.

What I think might be a good thing if Christian could record
conditional NAKs such as this one from you, that need to be worked on
before sending a feature upstream.  That would prevent wrong code
being sent upstream due to lack of attention.

Thanks,
Miklos
