I think that it has been noticed, however patches are difficult as these features are tied to the design of the system. So allow me to put forth a general question: what collaborative multiuser (shared-namespace) systems have people worked with that didn't suffer from this problem? I'm more interested in real systems used in a production environment, not just some toy OS's that never got out of the lab.
