No, i did not claim that this feature is "borderline security FUD",
at all.

I said, and i quote my original reply to Linus:

That the *NAMING* is borderline security FUD. (I already applied the
patches before i wrote that mail, see the commit notifications on
lkml.)

Either you have basic reading comprehension problems or you are
lying deliberately, putting words into my mouth that i never said.
Which one is it?

Thanks,

Ingo
