Well if they take it out they break the userspace API so it'll get vetoed, and
it'll break all the gnome/kde userspace for good. If they take it out and
let anything through then bugtraq will receive drive destroying tools the next
day so that isn't viable.

The gentoo folks did a very nice fs interface for customising the sanitizer but
for some reason it never got upstream.
