Currently that the fscontext changes have a gaping security hole in it's userspace API. Granted the security hole is copied from the existing mount api. But I have had multiple real world problems with the existing behavior, and I have reported it to David Howells multiple times. So I honestly don't think David Howells changes are ready to be merged. The changes to proc exhibit the security holet and I expect they will have to be redone to make the patch functional. Eric
