Greg and I have different opinions on what is classified as a good candidate for the -stable trees, but in my opinion this patch series doesn't qualify. There are a lot of dependencies, it is intertwined with a lot of code, and the issue that this patchset fixes has been around for a *long* time. I personally feel the risk of backporting this to -stable does not outweigh the potential wins. My current opinion is that backporting this patchset is not a good idea; it gets a NACK from me. Daniel, in the future if this is something you want to see backported please bring this issue up on the SELinux mailing list when the patchset is originally posted so we can have a discussion about it and plan accordingly. -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com
