I am just hoping that the people working to add LSM specific hooks to package managers talk to multiple package managers.
There are already too many people who thing Linux == RedHat (especially in enterprise circles), and just talking about this issue in terms of RPM seems to be falling into the same trap.

Development of such new features is driven by need. The people involved here are developing RPM based distributions and not really connected to Red Hat in any real sense. If someone deploys a similar feature for other package managers, I am sure they can use the hooks already provided. If they cannot, nothing prevents them from getting involved now and contributing to the discussions.
