That is not what I said. What I am saying is that we need display server mediation so that people can run the apps from the appstore safely and we should wait until it is in place. Mir gives us that by design, X does not. There is a lot of work to do and we must prioritize, and X is lower than other work because of Mir. AIUI, other desktop environments can be made to work with Mir[1], so if they use Mir (or probably Wayland), there is no problem. If you or others would like to work on X mediation with AppArmor, please send an email to the apparmor mailing list or talk to us on #apparmor on OFTC.
