That is my understanding of what you have promised (and > the reason I am allowing you to continue working on LSM stacking before I make > CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO=m). Loadable modules, in whatever form they take, will require the stacking I'm proposing. They will also require the next phase of stacking, which includes the networking bits that will allow universal stacking. Even if the current work goes in tomorrow (demented giggles) that's at least a year off. Then, and only then, will someone be able to tackle an implementation of loadable modules. I will not be available for that job. I have done everything I can to ensure that the stacking work won't prevent it from being done. I have proposed how it might be done. But I don't have 10 more years to spend on it, and it's not me that will reject it in the end. I won't beat that dead horse's head against that brick wall.
