Why? It's not like "security.SMACK64' is a secret.

The possibility of multiple security contexts on a file is real
in the not too distant future. Also, a file can have multiple relevant
security attributes at creation. Smack, for example, may assign a
security.SMACK64 and a security.SMACK64TRANSMUTE attribute. Your
interface cannot support either of these cases.
