Would a standard enhance, or retard security? 2004-01-15

I'm not sure if a standard is a good idea yet. As it is now, you have a choice of different approaches to security in different distributions, and the creators of those distributions are free to experiment with different security technology. I worry that a standard would essentially lock us at one point in time and prevent innovation.
