Some of his examples was the directory auditing code that Al wrote. In the 
user space side of it, I hadn't gotten the interpretation of the fields 
working because it took a long time for it to come back downstream in Fedora 
and by the time we had it I forgot to go check it. It wasn't like there was a 
field that changed meaning, just a normal integration issue when 2 subsystems 
have different delivery schedules. :)
