It makes no sense to work on the SCSI command filter on Linux as the Linux
developers do not seem to be interested in collaboration or ease of use.
Allowing to send arbitrary SCSI commands on read-only file descriptors with
Linux-2.5 was a mess and not fixing this bug did cause the problems with
cdrecord on Linux-2.6
Recent Linux kernels seem to implement mandatory ACLs for the withddrawn
POSIX capabilities.
