the bastion sftp example i gave which required selinux on top of a much
broader set of POSIX file permissions demonstrates the fallacy of your
statement.
try to achieve the same effect with POSIX - even POSIX ACLs
(uploader only has create and write, not read, not delete;
downloader has read and delete, not write, not create)
and you will fail, miserably, because under POSIX, write implies
create.
