Yeah, I think that's exactly the problem here: we've got this large
patch and no agreement on just what requirements it's supposed to meet.
Perhaps others see it differently, but I feel like I'm being told that
whatever the patch does is the right thing by definition ... and yet
it doesn't seem to meet what I would think are the likely requirements
of the users who might actually want such features.
Agreeing on the requirements seems like a necessary condition for
arriving at any consensus on a patch. Where can we get some evidence
that would convince everyone that the requirements for a highly
secure database are X, Y and Z?
