It is not my intent to hide anything. The idea is to recognize some values (inhibiting covert channels) as being valid for us (LSM) and not valid for the LKML crowd, and other values (preserving process integrity) as being of actual interest to the LKML. The important distinction here is that the covert channel value is *uninteresting* to the LKML crowd. Actually hiding information would only be necessary if a particular feature we were pushing had a serious defect. I would not push a feature if I knew it had an actual defect.
