The secmark "one user" policy

I'm looking at the secmark code and am looking in
particular at the places where it explicitly says
that it is intended for one security module at a
time. For extreme stacking I can either enforce this
restriction by configuration or remove it by clever
uses of secid mappings. Either can be made "transparent"
to existing user-space. Paul has expressed distaste for
using configuration as a shortcut for dealing with this
kind of problem, and I generally agree with him. On the
other hand, the code is quite clear that it is designed
for one and only one kind of secid at a time. I don't
want to put a lot of effort into patches that are
unacceptable to the author.

Thank you.
