    There are a lot of hooks which are useful for audit. Are you
    going to take them out because of that? I would hope that the
    goal here is "not to do audit" as opposed to "prevent audit
    from being done". The fact that a hook might be useful for audit
    ought not poison it when it's good for other purposes as well.
    
    I would also hope that we, as a group, could be just a touch
    less judgemental regarding the uses others plan to put LSM
    to. I don't much care what policy Steven, Crispin, or Greg
    might want, but I do want y'all to be successful with LSM.
