I highly doubt that Linus would want to include that. Also, RSBAC is not
widely used (and that'll be his first argument). Maybe this has been kept
too private, but development of RSBAC-based distribution is going
(slowly, because of lack of hardware and people/time).

Another problem is that RSBAC is not very portable/stable yet. Couple of
nights ago I got Sparc (and installed RH on it) and in couple of weeks
I'll get Alpha to play with (running RH already). The only problem is that
most people don't even know how long it takes to boot SPARCstation 1 ;-))
This is what I call "lack of hardware", but hopefully that'll make at
least some testing of RSBAC possible.

And sorry for 2.3 delay... Can't reboot my machine now :-( And I have no
separate intel testbox :-(

Vadim.
