It's a subjective security issue IMO. Pretty flawed in some cases, in others it sounds like the guy who only pokes the bear while it's in the cage and if the cage is nowhere to be found then it's game over, won't even go near it. What I am saying is for the average user it's a case of why are you letting them on your PC at all if you do not have a single ounce of trust and absolutely need per-user caching because you fear they will attempt to poison you. For other environments it's another situation but those environments are the rule apparently and not the exception... even though they are the minority IMO. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
