I don't recall LSM folks normally being invited to LSFMMBPF so it
seems like this would be a poor forum to discuss LSM hooks.

FWIW, I'm not aware of anyone currently working on revising the mount
hooks, but it's possible.  Posting a patchset, even an early RFC
draft, is always a good way to find out who might be working in the
same space :)

Posting to the mailing list also has the advantage of reaching
everyone who might be interested, whereas discussing this at a
conference, especially one that is invite-only, is limiting.
