I haven't been following kdbus closely for a while, but the original
intent for Smack and kdbus was that it Smack controls would be on the
objects involved, and that to accomplish that only a small number of
hooks would be necessary. After all, Smack uses fewer hooks than SELinux
on other things. I do agree that without a user there is no point in
having hooks. If SELinux requires the other hooks we might want to
hold off on asking for the hooks until the SELinux implementation is
exposed. I also think that AppArmor should be examined as a potential
user of the hooks, just to make sure the hooks aren't excessively
oriented toward subject/object based security modules.
