Good point. > The problem here is > mostly about whether we have enough confidence in the code to put our > project name on it. This patch has been bandied about for what, two years? There is a known fork of our project that runs with it. It has a live googlecode site: http://code.google.com/p/sepgsql/ Which has lots of documentation. I also appears to be active within the SE community: http://www.nsa.gov/applications/search/index.cfm?q=se-postgresql It is also part of the Secure OS project out of Japan (as far as I can tell). I know we are a little uncomfortable here but KaiGai-San (forgive me if I type that wrong) has proven to be a contributor in his own right, jumping over every hurdle we have presented him. He is obviously sticking around for a while. If we accept this code, we lose a fork of our project (good) and we pull those people into our project (better) and hopefully they will help us mature the project over time (best).
