No objection, but a bit of a datapoint. I use btrfs on one of my |
| 11 |
machines, and that filesystem (apparently) does not support |
| 12 |
XATTR_PAX markings. So on every update I get some packages with |
| 13 |
message like these: |
| 14 |
|

Two things about this: the message is not really useful, unless I |
| 28 |
know what -me does. Also, I never requested anything PaX-ish, I |
| 29 |
just don't want to to have SUID binaries when I can avoid it. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
By now the messages are just an annoyance/spam to me, but I |
| 32 |
suspect this may be more of a problem for people who have lower |
| 33 |
pain thresholds. |
