So that's what I wanted and thought you did, but your comment:

  "With my patch, selinux can already block the execve if it wants"

is what I reacted to. The "selinux *can*" and the "if it wants" part
was what made my hackles rise.

If it is not about what selinux can and what selinux wants, I'm happy.
The security manager shouldn't have any choices in the matter. No
'can', no 'want'.

Your choice of words made me think your patch had left that door open.
