But the LSM hooks aren't going to just dissapear. Under what you propose they 
will be replaced by other SELinux specific calls.  How does this change the 
impact to core/other kernel maintainers when they make changes? They are
still going to be faced with making changes near call points whose purpose
they may not be overly familiar with.  Are you saying that the issue is the
lack of availability of source for the LSM module? You've already said that as
far as they are concerned SELinux is the only LSM module that matters and it's
source is intree.

Thanks
