Please do not try to defend me and Scimmia when in fact we told people
to take it to "more appropriate mediums"... like the mailing list, which
they did in fact do *as I personally requested*, and which you are now
reprimanding them for.

Let's be perfectly clear here: There is *nothing* wrong with Gus'
attempt at dialog and discussion -- the fact that it was closed more
than once has no relevance to this discussion, as Gus tried to explain,
and moreover the fact that it was initially accepted *once* then
rejected *once* for the reasons clearly referenced in the initial post,
is hardly hidden information.

I am, however, troubled by your attacks, and consider something to be
wrong with that.

Heftig retracted his initial willingness to enable apparmor because he
did not think it useful enough without the userland tools. It wasn't
rejected because we hate the idea or consider it not Arch-like... it was
rejected because on its own, it could be considered not-important-enough
to warrant enabling.

People now want to discuss on the mailing list why it might be worth it
nevertheless. There are valid technical arguments to be made here, and
so far, the initial poster has been pretty polite about it. Moreover, I
agree. Even though I'm not heftig.

Thank you for respecting other peoples' right to ask questions. :)
