Right. Now, would you kindly post the detailed technical analysis of your
wonderful design that handles that stuff safely? With proof of correctness,
please. Since we are expected to take your code and use it as "Uber"
replacement for the existing one, it surely would not be too much to expect,
would it?

And no, "we have a nice presentation somewhere on namesys" does not
qualify.

I apologize for the obvious posting in a thread already full of noise,
but I would like to make *very* sure that lack of ripping you another
one does *not* mutate into "no objections from viro" in a lovely thread
on SlashDot in a week or so.
