Well, the suid_keys() I saw looks like you get a new "session" whenever you
change *id. IIRC, that's not very PAG-ish. I tried talking to dhowells
about it, didn't get much feedback. Maybe he's away or smth. Maybe I'm
wrong. Maybe you'll have better luck if you try.

I don't remember if this was one of Linus' requirements.

Has there been any developments since mid June? Nice of you to monitor lkml
for us.
