And we can't change the design/implementation of many things, again,
it's not the kernel's job to prevent something, just because we don't
like the RFC, from being accepted.

Go read Havoc's email about why the design is the way it is that I just
posted.  Maybe we are the ones that really don't know the issues
involved enough to say that the current design is somehow "wrong".
