Well, sounds sensible in general, but just some food-for-thought: I wonder
how much of an "ufs syndrome" you are creating for security code, i.e. how
difficult will it be to implement a security model without copypasting
"bsd44" and modifying a few bits here and there and eventually ending
up with 20 slightly different copies of whatever the secmodel equivalent
of rename is?
