No!  No more will be implemented "out of the blue" until he is well rested!

I would try SMACK because it uses xattrs to store labels, like selinux 
and the new pax flags.  It might be something we could roll in with what 
we do now.  I would prefer the pax flags model (labelling from withing 
an ebuild on an ad hoc basis) rather than selinux's model which is to 
have a new category in portage for the policies.  I'm not familiar with 
SMACK so this may not be easy/possible.  Also, I think rsbac, selinux 
and SMACK are all going to be mutually exclusive.

Finally, kensington has apparmor, but I don't know the state of its 
implementation.

If we continue with mutually exclusive security models (or more like 
partially mutually exclusive) we'll need documentation on what the pros 
and cons are of each.  Someone could start there with the wiki.
