I will tell you right now that you can't port the patch. You would need to
write a cmpletely different implementation.
I am also saying that those goals ar enot orthogonal. The Hurd is flexible
enough to carry both. And, as a last note, the fourthe set of permissions is
a logical consequence of the fact that the Hurd users have uid and gid
*sets*, which might be empty.

Why did you say that it would be the best solution then?
