And they should not, secrets are data not config. (for me)

For me as far as possible all /home data should have an as strict as
possible policy.

If we start to manage things by there purpose (and we should (my point
of view)) some others concern will be.

if i do it for my emails, or my calendars, or my bookmark we need a
strict policy behaviours.

Which program can access at what. And what about the storage
(xml/txt/maildir/vbox etc).

For me storage should be program agnostic. (the same data should be use
by the user prefered software)

but my last email about that not look really welcome.


I m not part of anything so it’s maybe for that but i’m glad to see I m
not alone with this kind of ideas.
