"'Despite my heart-felt feelings that we should support different people in trying out different things, one of the issues is also that I'm obviously not myself a security person.

He added, 'there's the 'core LSM hooks' on one side, but there's also the 'what modules make any sense at all to merge?' on the other, and I really don't have the expertise to make any sensible judgments except for the pure 'process' judgment that we should not hardcode things to just one module...!'"
