It's been about 9 months (an eternity in the world of open source), but
based on what we've seen back then, here's what we liked and didn't like:

Pros:
* ability to hide files and directories
* ability to hide processes
* pretty flexible ACLs for both

Cons:
* Subject/object relationship is file-process, as opposed to file-user or
process-user.  This is a major shortcoming.  I would ideally like to be
able to restrict processes AND users to their sandboxes.
