You mean apparmor?  I've already told you, that's not the answer.  Go
up 4 mails and read again.

You act like a happy prince of VFS, but let me tell you one thing,
there's only one king in this kingdom of Linux, and that's Linus
Torvalds I.  And our wise king already said that apparmor can come, so
the question is not "if" but "how".

If you don't want to help, that's a pity, but of course I don't want
to (and can't) force you.  I can understand if personally you don't
think this is a good idea, and don't want to have anything to do with
it.  In that case I can leave you off the CC's for the parts which are
not just generic VFS cleanups but explicitly towards apparmor
integration.  Would that suit you?

Thanks,
Miklos
