Andrew, when he sent it on to me, said that the SuSE people were ok with it (AppArmor), but I'm with you - I applied it, but I'm also perfectly willing to unapply it if there actually are valid out-of-tree users that people push for not merging. So Í don't think this is settled in any way - please keep discussing, and bringing it up. I'm definitely not in the camp that thinks that LSM needs to be "controlled", but on the other hand, I'm also not going to undo that commit unless there are good real arguments for undoing it (not just theoretical ones). For example, I do kind of see the point that a "real" security model might want to be compiled-in, and not something you override from a module. Of course, I'm personally trying to not use any modules at all, so I'm just odd and contrary, so whatever.. Real usage scenarios with LSM modules, please speak up!
