Hence the "realtime" LSM. Yes, but is there really some difference between people having to enable LSM and add a new LSM module, and people recompiling the kernel to include capabilities? Also, is somebody really shipping 2.4 kernels without capabilities? I'm unable to find any such config switch in 2.4.28 -- maybe it's because I'm almost sleeping now, but it doesn't seem to be there.
