Of course, and we'll lazily eat lots of icecream while you work hard
to release many shiny new Linux 3.2.x :)

Irony set aside, I believe there are two different ways of fixing this
bug:

  - Either by fixing the actual regression directly, without applying
    the network control patch: it seems clear to me that this can
    happen after the freeze. So far, so good.

  - Or by applying the AppArmor network control patch, in an improved
    version that John is apparently working on; this would be my
    preferred solution. But, given it would be a feature addition,
    rather than being merely a minimal bugfix, I'm not too sure it
    would be fit for a freeze exception. Hence my gentle pressuring on
    John to get this done before the freeze.

Feel free to correct me if my understanding of the situation is wrong.
