Additionally it seems possible to implement a good portion of the
TrustedBSD stuff along with the symlink-/filesystem work!? Maybe it's
good to put it in there to get a more "native" solution for DF rather
then modifying ufs with yet another (suboptimal) patchset.

Or did I get the idea of the new stuff wrong?

And you will agree of course, that security is a must-have in any modern
