    I'm tired of reading this crap every time I submit a LSM patch.
    
    I'll say it for the last time...  LSM was designed and didn't just plop
    into existence.  The group has published numerous design documents both
    explaining the decisions and rational behind the design and
    implementation of the project.  They are available at lsm.immunix.org,
    as you probably already know.  I know you don't like the implementation
    we currently have, but as no one has stepped up with a different
    implementation, that has been designed and tested to work for an
    extremely wide range of different security models, I suggest you stop
    this kind of attack.
    
    However, concrete criticism of specific implementation details, like you
    have done in the past is welcome, and encouraged.  I'll look into your
    comment about coding style issues that you mentioned earlier in this
    thread.

    Um, what's security/root_plug.c then?  :)
