The reason I mentioned it is that I was getting a general feeling that 
the community at large was going to view not getting the patch into 8.5 
as a final straw for working on it.  I wanted to be clear that the scope 
of doing this right may extend beyond that, but that shouldn't be a 
reason to give up on it.  I think KaiGai's comments about how it took 3 
years to get SELinux similarly integrated into the Linux core rather 
then shipping as an add-on is encouraging, in that the way and scope of 
how we're struggling with this topic is not something we should consider 
extraordinary and therefore a failing.  This is not an easy thing to do 
for anyone who tries it.
