    Yes we have. We have presented the patch, as requested.
    We have successfully refutted the arguements that restrictive
    hooks coupled with whacked capabilities is sufficient. No
    one has proposed a resolution for the MAC/DAC ordering issue
    which does not involve authoritative hooks. You assert that
    restrictive hooks will be easier to sell than authoritative
    even though they are known to be insufficent for POSIX ACLs
    and NFSv4.
    
    In POSIX terms you are, as a reviewer, non-responsive.
