    Sorry, but this argumentation is utter bullshit.

    If $VENDORKERNEL/freebsd/sco/windows2000 runs $APP and we don't, what
    does this mean? Right, exactly nothing. Follwoing that path of argumentation
    we could also merge the almost 1000 patches from SuSE's tree because you
    can be pretty sure some IHV or ISV relies on it.

    I've talked to three persons at Oracle and neither likes it at all, in
    fact en Oracle employee is working on doing quota for hugetlbfs which
    fixes this properly. Merging some horrible hacks that completly change
    the authorization model (for a special case, that is) in the middle of
    stable series doesn't get us anywhere, except into a horrible unmaintable
    mess.
