Bug#598408: Paris MiniDebConf Minutes

[intrigeri <intrigeri+debian@boum.org>]

Hi,

(
  For the record, more discussion followed on the debian-kernel list.
  Ben Hutchings made[0] the "discardable" part explicit there:

    By 'discardable' I mean that it would be possible to free the
    memory used for its code and static data if it was not used
    (similar to the way init code is discarded after boot).

I am sure this decision is backed by some kind of rationale but I
failed to find it anywhere; could it be expressed here please?

It seems to me another LSM (Tomoyo) has been included since 2.6.32-13
without satisfying these conditions, hence my wondering.

P.S.: please Cc me or the bug - I don't read debian-kernel.

Bye,
