Right now I'm tryig to figure out if special filesystem will be needed to store security information, required for C2/B1 level. For example ACLs.

I think that separate maillist will be good. That will let linux-kernel to be more into current problems. This list is too big to flood it. But I feel that having discussion about such issues BEFORE 2.3 starts is highly needed.
Also I think that it might be good idea to combine several projects in one area into one. This can give better result and reduce time for developing. For example, have section for filesystems, which will cover all current filesystems being developed, so that together advanced developers of FS's can come up with something better :)
