Crispin, I know that its effectivly Novell running this mailing list but you _will_ - as far as I learned this mailing list over the years - loose some experienced security specialists in this list if you should transform it into a product propagation platform...
I'm sorry you feel that way, but it is my understanding of standard mailing list netequitte that it is appropriate to mention a product if it actually answer's someone's question. AppArmor is exactly what Joe Knall needs to achieve his purpose, but he did not know that.
Last but not least you managed it to emit your mail without reference headers to chain the ML mails in the thread ("In-Reply-To", "References"). This is bad practise and IMHO not worth a technician or worth a company like Novell/SuSE (choose the matching depending on where the error happened).
That happened because I was not subscribed to the list at the time Joe posted, someone forwarded his post to me. Since I "replied" to the contents of a forward instead of Joe's original message, the threading information was lost. I have never found a way to preserve threading information from a forwarded post, and would like to learn how if someone actually knows.
