second that. from what I've seen in the patchfiles, the only actual
changes were to implement the domain/role concept. which, I believe, is
a good thing since it means you can much more easily merge these
changes with other security fixes that have happened in the meantime
(or will happen in the near future).
what I'd like to know is whether there's been any code auditing during
the development. did anyone at NSA look for security problems within
the kernel and/or user-space programs they have been working on?
