It's correct to say that the security model wouldn't work on ext2 as it
sits, but that isn't why we have troble with it.  Our cache manager isn't
compatible enough for many filesystems to run at all.  Until we fix that
security is very low priority from my perspective.

Here's a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between two locomotives
which are pushing on you with equal force in opposite directions. You will
exhibit no net motion. None the less, you may soon begin to notice that
something important is happening.
