acl has nothing to do with hardened, it isn't needed for selinux and we |
35 |
don't support it. |
36 |
|
37 |
further, we have our own stages and profile and therefore it wouldn't be |
38 |
an issue anyway. |

|

I don't think acl's should be included by default, the acl users must be |
41 |
an incredibly small number and it doesn't make sense to built it into |
42 |
stage 2,3 anyway (probably). |
