I just dug through all of the mail I've received from you over the
past two (?) years, as well as checking the LSM archive on lore and I
don't see any bug reports from you directed at the upstream LSM or
SELinux code ... perhaps I missed something, do you have a pointer?

Also, for the sake of clarification, I do not maintain any part of
Chromium or Chrome OS.  I do maintain the upstream LSM, SELinux,
audit, and labeled networking subsystems in the Linux Kernel as well
as a couple of userspace packages.

My comments here were only discussing the possibility of performing a
group ID based access control check; I made no claims about the
desirability of such a check, and I have no interest in rehashing our
old debates.
