The impasse seems to be that the kernel isn't going to roll over on all their other kernel development concerns when someone waves the "security" trump card. As much as I'm into making sure people understand the importance of security and often am the guy fighting for better security in my professional capacity, I can't fault the kernel. That kind of arrogance not only doesn't work, but makes my job harder when I encounter IT and developers that have been bitten by terrible interactions with "the security community" in the past.
