Summary
Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, has expressed concerns about the growing number of Linux Security Modules (LSMs), which can make the kernel more complex and difficult to maintain. He suggests that the community should carefully evaluate the necessity of each LSM and potentially remove or combine some of them to simplify the kernel's security infrastructure.
