Since it can't do so many things, and the "group" seems bent on spending it's energies on inventing excuses for the restrictive scheme's oft demonstrated weaknesses*, the upcoming failure is pretty well set in concrete. The current proposed scheme should fail. It does not perform the job it set out to do. We aren't after the pride that goes with getting code into The Kernel, we have work to do and customers to support, and maybe they won't be able to use Linux after all. That would be bad, and our time spent working with this project wasted. --- * Let's start with: "Oh, that's audit, we don't like audit" "That's proprietary, we don't like proprietary" "That's too much code!"
