that's exactly what I'm saying: it's there since forever. I don't recall
anyone coming up and saying that it's so painful and kauth should be

if that were the case, do you think that (1) kauth would not address it
since day 1 and (2) I would have ignored it completely for the year+
kauth has been in the tree?

and, I'm asking again: why didn't the changes in question go up for
public discussion? and assuming they would have, what do you think would
be the consensus?
