    Who said that?  In prior discussions on this list, there have been
    specific examples where C+R is not enough to provide authoritative
    control, so no one is arguing that you can always resort to C+R if you
    want authoritative behavior.  I merely challenged the idea that POSIX
    ACLs can't be easily implemented via C+R, and continue to think that
    they can.  As far as general support for authoritative behavior goes, it
    needs to wait until a later phase of LSM, as has been argued at length on
    this thread and previously.
