And credit where due, that was a significant undertaking, and great
collaboration.

I brought it up as a priority to Kanchan then. I cringed at not seeing it
addressed, but as with a lot of development, some things get punted for
'eventually'. What I think we need is more awareness of the importance of
addressing LSMs and making this a real top priority, not just, 'sure',
or 'eventually'. Without that wide awareness even those aware of its
importance cannot help make LSM considerations a tangible priority.

We can do this with ksummit, or whatever that's called these days,
because just doing this at security conferences is just getting people
preaching to the choir.

We can also do this through sessions at different companies.
