I lost track of this patch and related bits somewhere along the way, had
to triage my unread mail a few times. Could someone summarize how it now
fits into plans for more general row-level access controls in the
database? I know incompatibilities between the SEPosgreSQL model for row
filtering and thoughts for a more general permissions feature that did
something similar were a major design issue in the early 8.4 versions of
SEPostgreSQL, and that as you say you've been working on that. I'm not
sure what relationship there is between those two today though, or
exactly where the general non-SELinux row filtering is at on the roadmap.
