Forgive me for being dense, but can you expand on your concerns?
My concern is setting various mac labels to various files in /etc, and having these files keep the labels after a mergemaster.

I'm starting to have a bad feeling about mergemaster and /etc's full of

I have local patches submitted by Chris Faulhaber to copy ACLs when a file
is copied (or moved between file systems) that I've been meaning to finish
testing and merge.  Likewise, for gzip, bzip, and others when a file is
replaced.  This wouldn't address the general issue of copying extended
attributes, but is a necessary step.  Presumably if we did extend cp, et
al, to copy EA's, they should explicitly copy only user namespace EAs, not
system EAs.   There's been some recent e-mail on the Linux side about
interfaces to copy ACLs from one file to another, but I haven't had a
chance to review those changes as yet to see whether we should pick them
up.
