Yes, I decided not to implement it, because I discussed the proposed
solution with few other engineers and nobody likes it and the
security/selinux guys wouldn't like it also. Please don't take me wrong,
the solution you've proposed is just a few lines of code, so it's not a
big problem to write it, but it's just a temporary workaround and would
require changing the selinux policy and to make it work fine. We can
take a vote and if there is enough people to support it then I' write
it, but I don't writing something to /proc/<pid>/ is a good idea.

Well, thanks for comming to a conclusion about this without bothering to bring
it back up with me, thats fantastic. The bottom line is, you saw that I was
willing to try do what you wanted me to do, and concluded that you didn't need
to do what I had asked you to do. Thats a lousy way to behave.
