Given the extreme patience and diligence exhibited by KaiGai, I
hesitate to say this, but it seems to me that this would be
critically important for the long term success of this feature.  I
have no idea how much work it would be to make the interface to the
external security system pluggable, but if it's at all feasible, I
think it should be done.
