Ian, why are you doing this? You must surely know better by now. Trying to pull you credentials isn't going to do you any good; SELinux is developed by plenty of people with solid credentials, as I hope you realize if you did even a cursory investigation. All it does is make you sound presumptuous. It absolutely blows my mind that you can sit here and calmly assert that a project as thoroughly designed and audited (and generally respected) as SELinux is simply "more harm than good", whatever the quality of the Debian-specific patches, and expect to be taken seriously. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
