That actually sounds very reasonable to me. It is essentially what we
do with uid and gids already. I presume the smack namespace support
would when integrated with all of this would allow a set of labels to be
set.

Have I missed a part of the conversation you talk about fileystems that
don't have support for storing labels? Filesystems like vfat, isofs,
etc.
