I would certainly not disagree about doing things right.
I am, however, concerned about too great an emphasis on what might
happen tomorrow when the need today is evident and a popular approach
readily at hand.
So, in the hope of insuring that this issue move forward appropriately
and expeditously ...
1.) Does Kirk now have a list of immediate concerns in sufficient
detail to respond with appropriate technical detail?
2.) Is that list comprehensive?
I ask these two questions because the email on which I was cc'd, while
providing a list, did not provide specifics. In particular, the security
concerns regarding /proc were not specified. Furthermore, in his
response, he indicated that he had not received any specifics that
documented a security issue--only the vague concern that use of /proc
might do so.
3.) Do you have any objection to my pinging on this issue monthly?
