I know all that, but it is a complicated matter to discuss. That's why I was planning to make a comprehensive announcement which would discuss most of the hot topics. Ideally yes, I would like to merge, but it won't happen now. The first thing I would like to do is establish common ground with other security vendors so that we could approach the problem together. Personaly, I am not sure whether insisting that everything should be a part of kernel is a right thing to do even though I think I understand all the up- and down-sides of both policies.

Having said all this above, I am afraid that there will be no other choice but to start working on the announcement asap. :)

Perhaps you can put up the work in progress on a git repository somewhere?

Sam.
