Mainly bugfixes and Q&A phase like
https://osdn.net/projects/tomoyo/lists/archive/users-en/2017-July/000685.html .

Now that TOMOYO can coexist with one of SELinux/Smack/AppArmor, TOMOYO users
can borrow ready-made rules from them and utilize TOMOYO's ability to generate
custom-made rules for things like

I guess that majority of TOMOYO users are now using the upstream version. But
pre-LSM version and/or AKARI will remain there until LKM-based LSMs becomes
officially supported, for e.g. Fedora/RHEL users will need to use AKARI because
TOMOYO is not available ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=542986 ).
