This feature was in limbo for a very long time, but now I see that
it was finally merged last year:
commit 000d388ed3bbed745f366ce71b2bb7c2ee70f449
Author: Matthew Garrett <matthewgarrett@google.com>

security: Add a static lockdown policy LSM
I missed that that had been merged.

I see that my Fedora system has a slightly different version
of that page (obviously added a Fedora patch). I'm not sure
which is more up to date; probably the Fedora page.

Not so far. I suppose the simple thing would be to just merge
the page that exists on Fedora. But I've no idea how much it
needs tobe updated to reflect reality. Perhaps someone in CC
can comment. Do you have any time to drive this along?
Thanks,
Michael
