Without being able to provide a better solution in a reasonable
time I don't see that I can responsibly raise an objection. Sure,
I'd rather see a real implementation of xattrs on memory based
file systems, but I can't put the time in to make it happen and
I don't see that it would be "fair" for these people to be held
up by my petty idiosyncrasies on the topic if I'm not willing to
make the investment and do it myself.

Maybe the next time I'm out of work ("Nuts! And I finally got
asking if they wanted to SuperSize it down!") I'll revive my
efforts to eliminate secids from the kernel entirely.
