Yes, the example I had in mind was this:

Of course, nobody dislikes security. Making it neat and clear is another
question, and that"s why experiments are needed. Can we consider Linux and
GRSecurity as entities cooperating with each other in that respect?
GRS is a formal hierarchical organization, a very different single endity than the
linux "thing". A community of many different entities, in size and shape. Not
a formal organization, I don't think. How can the two different things communicate,
do and leave it at that. Only equals can communicate, coordinate, and cooperate.
else.
change what linux is. If grs and debian can cooperate that would be an issue
for them to decide. For linux we all need to agree before we decide.
