But why would you "feel" safer? And why should the Linux kernel care about how people "feel"? The purpose of these mechanisms is not to make people feel safer; it is to make them actually be safer. If it isn't actually making people safer -- if it is just to provide "warm fuzzies" and a perception of safety -- then I don't see what business it has going into the Linux kernel. What threat, exactly, are you trying to defend against? What's your threat model? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
