So the question to the AFS developers is:

   Is the use of the ktc_SetToken(...,setpag) to set the PAG of a parent
   going to continue to be supported in the future? Or should it be
deprecated?

That "feature" is a horrible kludge. It severely breaks a fundamental abstraction (inheritance is one-way), and like Love, I'm not totally convinced it's secure. It should never have been there in the first place. Speaking as an individual, I strongly encourage folks not to use this functionality or write code that depends on it.


That said, a lot of people are depending on this, so I expect it will be around for a while.
