As far as I can tell, what's really going on here is that there's a
significant contingent here that wants to prevent Linux from
chainloading something that isn't Linux.
You have completely the wrong end of the stick.  No one has said that or
even implied that.  You are alleging dishonesty on our part.
I'm alleging that the idea that Linux seems some particular policy to
avoid being blacklisted keeps being brought up as a justification for
these patches.
No, you were alleging that "[we want] to prevent Linux from chainloading
something that isn't Linux.".

This is not true - at least, it's not true on my part; I cannot speak for what
other people may think privately.
