Yes they are, thanks.  I can't comment on the security stuff but
everything else looks good to me.  I'll let Corinna have the final
say on this.

I wonder if it is time to bite the bullet and get rid of user-mode
mounts entirely.  Or maybe disallow them in suid'ed sessions?  They
are always going to be a security hole AFAICT.
