Right now I think getting prepare_binprm working in a sane cap-enhanced
matter is the biggest current issue. After that then libcap which looks
really good IMHO. Then mechanisms like binary cap headers and vfs support.
In the long run vfs support is critical.
binary cap support is not long time critical IMHO.
Linus should be weary of the binary cap headers; he should weigh todays
usefulness with the chance that it might become tommorows baggage.
I will continue to have binary cap headers among my patches but I am not
advocating it be placed in the kernel until after the stuff to support
libcap1.92, the prepare_binprm etc cleanups have been made, and
setresuid_c debated and other stuff.
