    Do you really believe that the opponents to LSM will fully understand LSM
    before they judge it unacceptable?
    
    I HAVE looked at LSM, and even have applied it for prototype purposes.  I
    can't argue it is a good thing, but I *can* raise questions that may be
    important about IF it's a "good" thing.
    
    Are you afraid of a little controversy?  I suggest that anybody with that
    attitude GET OUT *now*, the big battle is still ahead of LSM.  Questions,
    informed or not-informed, need to be answered or LSM is garbage.
    
    Oh, and, if you wish to totally remove LSM from being "political" you have
    to discount all the "the kernel developers won't accept this" arguments,
    all the way back to the beginning.  THAT is political.  Live with it.  LSM
    has put political (kernel inclusion) concerns before technical (actual
    security benefit) all along, IMHO.  Don't argue against that opinion,
    you'll lose.
    
    Respectfully,
