I do not object to looking for ways to add functionality to LSM.
Authoritatve hooks certainly fall in this category as far as I'm
concerned.

As Greg and Stephen mentioned, it's difficult to commit to
what Phase II will look like since Phase I + acceptance could change
things significantly.  I think the prudent direction now is continue
refining what we have, wait for 2.5 to open, submit, evaluate criticism,
adjust patch, goto submit...  After dust settles (assuming we get
_something_ accepted ;-) then I'd like to look at what we can do to
improve what's in the mainline.  This could mean trying to get all the
hooks accepted that got turned down...perhaps it could mean working on
authoritative/kernel out stuff...I simply don't know.

To reiterate, I think authoritative hooks in some fashion, perhaps we can
find a more elegant solution as we move forward, could be an LSM improvement.

cheers,
-chris
