I absolutely hate the whole "security people keep arguing", and I
cannot personally find it in myself to care about tomoyo.  I don't
even know where it is used - certainly not in Fedora, which is the
only distro I can check quickly.

If the consensus is that we should revert, I'll happily revert. This
was all inside of the tomoyo subdirectory, so I didn't see it as some
kind of sidestepping, and treated the pull request as a regular
"another odd security subsystem update".
