Hmm, you think selinux people read pgsql-announce? But seriously,
we *have* been trying to get people's attention for this patch, both
inside and outside the postgres community, for well over a year now.
The lack of response has been depressing and (IMHO) telling. Nowhere
have we gotten anything more concrete than "ooh, that's cool ... maybe
I might use it someday, but I can't be bothered right now".
