Having a solid use case or two is also helpful for those of us who don't have a GTP/GPRS background. I did spend some time reading a few things on GTP, but I don't feel like I've made much of a dent on understanding how it is actually used. Harald, Pablo - I know you both suggested taking a slow iterative approach to merging functionality, perhaps you could also help those of us on the SELinux side better understand some of the common GTP use cases? -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com
