Subject: what happened to SECURITY_DAC?

wow.  Commit 70b62c25665f636c9f6c700b26af7df296b0887e
from last Sept. 14, 2018, total commit description says:

    LoadPin: Initialize as ordered LSM

    This converts LoadPin from being a direct "minor" LSM into an ordered LSM.

Nowhere does it say anything like "this also deletes any notions of
DEFAULT_SECURITY and DAC."

Was this deletion a (sekrit) security issue that was not being highlighted on purpose?

and what do you recommend for simple DAC-like security?

thanks.  :(
