--- It was isolation away from the mainline kernel list that allowed the current patchwork design. Attempts to clarify the LSM list charter which ended up on lkml resulted in movements to silence those questioning the emperor's new clothes (or lack thereof). LSM project members want their changes in the kernel code *today*. It is appropriate to discuss design methodolgy on the kernel list since design methodology discussion was forbidden on lkml as was any interaction with the linux community. Quite frankly, the brown-nosing, back-slapping politics really put a bitter taste on things that were naively believed to be based more on technocracy than making people 'look good' and commercial self-interest.> If making the DAC code a module slows down non-LSM servers > and takes a lot of > programmer time to implement, is it a useful effort? ---
It was already done -- the mainline kernel modules were done in about 2 person-months of motivated programmer time. There was no measured slowdown of non-LSM servers. Changes done earlier by the same project lead of that project had all changes in the mainline kernel code compile to nothing when compiled out. Performance was a consideration in the implementation.
