I assume you saw the English version of users' list which was
created very recently. At the moment, most of the TOMOYO Linux
project users are Japanese as it is not merged *yet*. ;-)

Well, I think I need to prove the existence of users.

people.

Some Japanese security related NGO server has been protected by
TOMOYO Linux. (not play machine)
http://www.jnsa.org/result/2007/tech/secos/secureos.pdf
(sorry, there's no English version)

So, I think it's safe to say TOMOYO Linux is a *real* project and
there are users. :-)
