I agree, although I think it should be possible to specify both on the same command line. At that point however the user would know what they did, so they should be able to undo it appropriately. I also don't want to bikeshed this to death. I imagine that once the feature is stable that users will just twiddle it once and then leave it alone, or it will be set at install time and then not twiddled at all. :) > Looking at it from a slightly different angle - assume I have a file > system with SU enabled, and I want to experiment with SUJ.
