Caveat: I wasn't at the kernel summit. But my impression is that "stable" in this context has always just meant a stable API/ABI for userland, not a lack of continuous change within the kernel. And we were warned long ago that the LSM API could change at any time during the stable series, as it is an in-kernel API. In fact, the LSM API has changed since 2.6.0. One of the earlier suggested enhancements to LSM for 2.7 was an auditing capability, but that seems to have been rendered obsolete by the audit subsystem implementation by SuSE and by the mainline kernel audit framework by RedHat. -- Stephen Smalley <sds@private> National Security Agency
